In reply to SSRIs and Herpes, posted by tarheelex on April 8, 2008, at 11:18:32
I usually have oral herpes outbreaks about every 1-3 months.
Now I have been taking SSRI (Zoloft/sertraline) for a month and a half, and have had three outbreaks since I started. Obviously I suspect a connection.
I had a period of very frequent (every other week) outbreaks a couple of years ago - although I had had herpes for many years already then. When thinking about it, I wonder if it could have been at the time that I was taking SSRIs (Cipramil/citalopram) the last time...I'll talk to my doctor about this next time.
Any more info here would be great.
