Carol, Here is a good thread to read about side effects --

I am tired a lot of the time and then don't sleep well. Nerves, negavtive thoughts keep me awake. I take Ambien every night for that. There are still days I have "re-group" or "re-energize" and they happen to be about four days after a herceptin treatment. All I want to do is be alone, read, rest, watch a movie.
Best wishes,
Dana
