Re: Tykerb and my hair is thinning/falling out

The only side effect I really had from Tykerb was diarrhea. I was on it for 6 months and was just told to quit. I'm curious if there are withdraw symptoms because I haven't felt the greatest since I stopped (last Friday).

Are you still taking Herceptin along with Tykerb?
