I have been on Tykerb only since August, 5 pills a day. I had some minor diarhea in the beginning. I had a small outbreak of the rash last week but it is gone now. I have had a general feeling of tiredness and have not had as much energy as on herceptin. My onc says tykerb peeks about the 3rd month and then levels off as far as the side effects are concerned.
