Start at 500mg a day and see if you feel better. Give that a week and then increase to 1 gram a day, and do that for a week, and see if there is any improvement. Sometimes the improvement takes a while, and may occur at lower doses. But some people do go up to 3 grams a day in some cases.
Some only use the higher doses for symptoms, and lower doses for coasting in between attacks.
When I had my Herpes tests, they did both simplex together, and a separate one for zoster. It was my Zoster titres that were really high, and nothing much at all for Simplex.
