milvushina Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm a long time sufferer (mouth version) and nothing but nothing works better than L-lysine to get rid of those suckers. L-lysine decreases healing time but I want to take a higher dosage than the daily supplement of 500mg, I want to stop it in its tracks. I weight 116 lbs (53 kg). Does anyone know whether taking that high dosage for a week or so is safe or will it make you sick? *Edited because I answered my own question but thought it might be useful to some. After talking to a pharmacist and then a nurse they said it is ok to take 500mg 4 times a day no matter what your size, for all adults. This should really kick its butt and it works on the genital version too, they said. Link to post Share on other sites
