I have been taking Acyclovir 800mg for herpes in my ear canal. Since I have been taking it I have noticed a sudden change in mood - extremely irritable, angry and tearful, also very tired and generally feeling unwell. I'm wondering if this is a side effect of the medication, as the change in mood is so sudden.
Reason why i am wondering if this sudden mood change is associated with Acyclovir - I have been prescribed this 800mg dose many times before, but have been on antidepressants so sudden changes in mood would always be associated with my "depression". I am no longer on antidepressants (cos no longer married!), so this sudden mood change has been quite a shock.
Any thoughts?
