Guest guest Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well, now I'm REALLY hankerin' to get onto Tasigna! I switched to Sprycel, and it was a dream at first although now it's just like Gleevec, I feel like I'm taking opium or something. All I want to do is sleep, to say nothing of these other " unmentionable " side effects which we just mentioned. My doc said to give it another two months and see how I fared. Right now I've been up for two hours and I would like nothing more than to conk right back out! From: nchando@...

For US, however, it matters! I hate to say it, but I had some of these issues as well. It's one of the reasons I retired from my job as an elementary teacher. People forget that teachers can't go to the bathroom whenever they want. I was in constant fear that it would happen in school. My medicine was switched a year ago to Tasigna. Wow! These problems are no longer there. I feel great, I'm PCRU, and NEVER have those side effects. I hope the people on Gleevec can find some way to deal with the problem, nothing ever worked for me, although that was not the reason my drug was switched. in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
