That is the reason I took myself off Tykerb after a week of usage. I had such terrible diahrea that I felt totally weak. It started after the first dose and food would just go through me. Nothing seemed to help, immodium or anything. Then came all the little white pimples. I decided to get off it and keep it for later if my cancer came back. I just didn't feel like putting my body through that unless it was necessary. It wasn't an easy drug for me but if I need it later, I guess I could wear a diaper..lol..sherryg683
