Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi Dee, Gee, I wish I could loose some weight on Gleevec! LOL - OK - I know you have a serious problem, so let's see if we can help you. This is what I do, for 7 years now, to deal with nausea and sleep problems. First, take your Gleevec with a full (not necessarily heavy) meal, after eating. Next take your Gleevec in the morning... this has resolved my sleep issues... I used to take it with the evening meal. If you are still having some nausea, try taking half a tablet in the morning after breakfast and half at lunch time. Yes, you can simply break the tablet where it is scored. Often the lower concentration helps tolerate the meds.
