I started on 800 mg of Tasigna per day but my Lipase levels became elevated so I

was switched to 600 mg per day and I am doing just fine.  That was over a year

ago.

Would someone share with me the dosage they are taking of the Tasigna.  I have

been pcru with Gleevec but the fatigue was making life worthless so they

switched me to Tasigna 800 mg a day.  I was on 400 mg Gleevec. Is the 800 a

normal dosage?

Hi Barbara,

I have been on the 400mg twice a day since August 2008, which is the

recommended dose. I would love to drop back to once a day as it is very

restrictive with the fasting in the afternoon and I've been PCRU since Dec

2008 and my current levels are 0.000%. The worse problem I find with Tasigna

is the insomnia - I was always a night owl, but now I can be wired still at

1-2am or later and then awake at 7am, so I'm constantly sleep deprived.

Regards,

800 a normal dosage?

I am on 600mg and abt a year ago my Lipase level was high, but the next time

is was normal. Stayed on 600. Now it is a year later and my Lipase is up

again. I will have to do it again in a month. My Dr. says the Tasigna has a

tendency to show a false reading.
