Hello, I was diagnosed with CML in 2009 when I was 14. I have been on Gleevec (400 mg.) ever since. I am currently in remission and have been since 2011. Also, I am still on Gleevec(400 mg). Within the first few months of taking this medication the side affects were constant. My doctor said that over time those side affects would subside. I still get nausea and heart palpations from time to time, but that's okay with me. From taking this medication, I noticed that my moods have changed quite a lot. I feel depressed and tired all of the time and I'm not really sure why. No matter how long I sleep throughout the night, within a couple of hours of being awake, my energy level goes completely back down. I sleep a lot.
Does Gleevec cause these two symptoms? or could it be sorting else?
Thanks,
Chad Chinavare.
