Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Last November I went to my Onc at Dana Farber, Dr Soiffer, I was still at 4% so he upped my gleevic to 600mg. Not only did it cause me more stomache cramps but taking a half of a 400mg pill caused me to vomit twice a day, before I went to bed and when I woke up. Not fun. So here is the dilema. I am going to mail order prescriptions for my gleevic. It will cost one co-payment for a 3 month supply. I was taking 2-100mg tabs and 1-400mg tab, 2 prescriptions. The problem is I now am going to be taking 6-100mg tabs. This way it is just 1 prescription. Is anyone else taking 6 pills? I also take the whole 600 at night with food. I have tried the morning, the lunch time and the dinner time mode. But each one caused so much nausea, I was done for the day. And it was not that I didn't eat enough, the scale showed that it was MORE than ample!!! This way I sleep through the crappy feeling. But now I am worried about the new dosing schedule. Not looking forward to anymore discomforts! thanks, Cammy dx 10/03 400mg till 11/04 (4%Phillies) 600 present waiting for PCR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
