Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi all--- My husband, , is in his 6th week of Sprycel--he is at the highest doseage of 140mg/day. Had some strange side affects the first few days, but they came and went. One of the most frustrating things for him has been the lack of consistency with Sprycel side affects...with Gleevec he had the fatigue shortly after taking Gleevec, and some headaches here and there, but they were somewhat " patterned " . With Sprycel, the side affects seem to jump out of nowhere...makes feel a little more tied to home, since he doesnt know if and when he might not feel that good. The inconsistency of the side affects is almost as troublesome as the side affects themselves. The reason I am writing, though--he has been having some anxiety attacks over the last few weeks, something has never experienced before. He looked up the list of side affects for Sprycel today, and anxiety attacks and depression are listed in the " frequent " category. Anyone else on Sprycel dealing with this, too? And, if so...are you on the 140/mg dose or the 100/mg dose?
