Brenda,

I don't know how you are doing it and how you started out at the maximum dose. I started at 2 and got severely sick at my stomach. So, my doctor told me to stop it for a couple of days and then start at one. She also gave me a shot of Aloxi today. So I am taking 2 Zofrans during the day and 2 phenergans at night and still sick at my stomach. I am so glad you tolerate it so well and thanks for your tips.

Roz,

I am also sleeping a lot with it. Again, I don't know how I would have felt if I had taken more than 2 to begin with. I think I am supposed to start with 1 tomorrow night. Also, my doctor believes that part of my stomach trouble is from the high dose of steriods during radiation. Oh well, we will see. I am determined to take this medicine. Good luck to everyone that is struggling with Tykerb.
