Is it all Gleevec's fault?

[Guest guest]

Hey you brainiacs out there -- oh yes I do mean you Lottie, and you too Bobby! :

- )

Would it be irresponsible for an oncologist to take a patient off Gleevec and

onto, say, Tasigna, simply because the side effects became intolerable? Does

that present any dangers?

I am now having a really severe depression that strikes around mid-day and

suddenly dissipates around 6 or 7 p.m. The rest of the time I feel just fine. I

just can't tell you how awful these periods are, and anti-depressants (I take 40

mg of Citalopram a day) do not appear to have any effect.

Thanks so much.

in S.F.
