I just want to remind everyone...if you are having trouble with the initial dosage that your dr prescribes for you, talk to him about reducing the dosage.

I reduced the Tykerb to 3 when the side effects were bad, and still received tremendous benefits while dimishing the side effects. I only take 2 Xeloda twice a day on a one week on/ one off schedule.

It's better to reduce your dosage and continue taking it then to stop taking it altogether. Once the side effects were pretty much gone, I just upped the Tykerb to 4 pills a day, and have seen no increase in side effects, though I am seeing more fatige with 4 pills a day than the 3 pill a day schedule.
