jille Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just wondering if anyone has experience with increased fatique while on Tarceva. My mom completed 6 treatments of carbo/taxol/avastin in February. now She started Tarceva 12 days ago and she is extremely fatiqued, even when she gets a very good night sleep, she still feels very tired. Is this the Tarceva? Anyone have experience with this? Will it continue. She's on 150 mg/day. She's only 115 pounds, maybe she needs a smaller doseage. Any advice for dealing with fatigue?! Thanks, Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 John did not have extreme fatigue on the tarceva. You may want to have her counts checked or look into going to 100 mg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernrol Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Jill, I take Tarceva 100mg I don’t get fatigued. I exercise a lot and I think this helps. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish2418 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've been taking 150 mg Tarceva for almost a year and have not experienced fatigue as a side effect. You may want to look into taking a lower dose. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I didn't have fatigue either. Wonder if it's still after-effect from chemo? God Bless!! Jme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
