The antiviral famciclovir (Famvir) has been shown to reduce postherpatic neuralgia. The dose (750mg TID) is higher than would be used for treatment or prophylaxis of HSV. Talk to your physician about treatment strategies.

Also, stress reactions might trigger attacks of shingles. So, consider stress reduction techniques.

Hope this helps.
