I just started Tykerb today. I received it in the mail by fed ex. My doctor told me to start small (2 or 3) pills a day and then increase. I took 2 pills tonight, which I realize is a very small dose, but I haven't had any diarrhea yet, of course I realize it could hit me at any time. I am a little concerned about that side effect, but I am prepared with Immodium and will try the BRAT diet. I hope your side effects get better Roz.

I also appreciate your specific input Brenda, you have your information really organized. Anybody have dry lips and lining of the mouth. It seems like every chemo, antibody and even radiation has that as a side effect. I am interested in hearing about any other side effects anyone else had has and how they dealt with them. Also, can you purchase bentonite clay at a health food store? I am glad this tx is working for a lot of people.
