I've been prescribed Valtrex 500mg Tablets for a recurrence of shingles and I'm curious to hear from others who have taken it. How effective has it been for you? I've heard it can help with outbreaks, but I'm also seeing some scary side effects listed. Has anyone experienced any of the more serious side effects? I'm particularly worried about kidney problems and allergic reactions. I've only taken it for a few days, and so far, I've just had some mild headaches. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
