Sprycel Side Effect--cognitive problems

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

For the last10 days or so, I have had some symptoms that were new and scary for

someone who is usually verbally agile and a writer to boot.

I would lose my train of thought during conversations, couldn't think of even

the simplest words and was very forgetful. I really thought it might be

Alzheimer's. But, remembering that Gleevec patients often complained about

foggy thinking and forgetfulness, I posted a question about it in the Sprycel

Discussion group on newcmldrug.com. Sure enough, four other people had exactly

the same symptoms. They come and go. Anyone here have this apparent side

effect? I have a BMA scheduled for tomorrow (Happy Valentine's Day!) and will

talk to my doctor. Would like to hear from anyone else with these wymptoms who

is on Sprycel. I'm on 100 mg per day.

Thanks!
