I had diarrhea with Herceptin. As for feeling "off," I think I got used to it, because a few months after I finished Herceptin, I began to notice how much better I felt. I, personally, was not at my peak for the nine months I took Herceptin. I'm not surprised you feel "off." It is strong medicine. This is not aspirin we are dealing with!
