Bailey - I've taken it for 2 days now. The first day I took the Tykerb when I received the shipment (I wanted to get started right away). Then, I decided the evening thing made sense, so I switched and took it before bedtime last night. I didn't have any trouble sleeping, but I did have a watery stool when I got up this am. My onc told me to call if that happened and wait until I get further instructions before I take any more . I put the call in this am and am still waiting for a call back. Other than the bowel issues, I have been tired. So far my hands and feet are ok. I am on a real high dose of Xeloda right now (1650mg twice a day) so I am sure that will be adjusted down based on what others on this site have said. I hope things go well with you. Let's hope our cancers take a big hit from this cocktail! Let us know when you get started how you are doing.
