I take 1000mg everyday. It seems to work well.

I go though periods of taking this daily, when I'm stressed and if I feel the inkling of something rearing it's ugly head. Seems to help.

Time heals all wounds.

i think so, no out breaks in a month so i think its still too early to tell

Take it every day.

I am blessed to be primarily asymptomatic, but do take L-Lysine as well as vitamins to boost immune system

It works really good if you take it at the first signs of outbreaks, taking it only two days at the first sign and I didnt get the outbreak.

I highly recommend taking Lysine pills (can be bought for cheap at wal-mart.) I feel they have helped ward off herpes outbreaks.

WHEN SYMPTOMS COME I MEGA DOSE ON LYSINE OLIVE LEAF AND MONOLAURIN

It definitely works. At the first sign of a tingle, tickle, sting or ache around my vagina, I load up on lysine! 2000mg every 3 hours or so the first day, then 1000mg every few hours for the next 2 or 3 days. Then 500mg here & there for the next 2 days. I continue that way until there's absolutely no feeling of an outbreak. I've completely prevented any sores from emerging many times. Also shortens an outbreak if lysine is taken this way. 2 or 3 days & it's gone!
