Hello Germaine,
I've been on 400mgs Gleevec daily for 3.5 + years, and it does make me a bit more tired than usual. At times, I get grumpy and irritable too, but, that's when I try to do too much, don't get enough sleep or have excessive stress in my life. I agree with Richard, that just having CML puts a huge emotional burden on our lives. I'd recommend discussing this with your doctor and perhaps seeing a professional to get some assistance. I went to a counselor for a little while (w/o my husband) to just talk about the anger and fear I had about CML. It helped tremendously! We also belong to a local support group now for cancer survivors and spouses. It helps to talk with others who are facing the same situation.
