milvushina Posted June 26, 2007 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.
