Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi Judy and I too have been on tasigna for 13 months now. At first the side effects were awful. They dropped my dosage from 800 to 400 a day. I take in in the morning on an empty stomach and it works well for me. Just had the 12 week check up- still PCRU now for 6 years March 17. The side effects have subsided pretty much. I am still tired but the last blood work showed all normal counts. This is so good. I am so very lucky. I wish the best for both of you on tasigna.
