My doc said the gleevec can cause some confusion ( its in the pamphlets). I have had trouble with slight memory loss, not very noticable on the 400 mg but very noticable on the 600 mg including my tongue getting tied , slight dizzyness and simple word loss. Your best bet is to talk to your doc thats what i did:)

My wife who was dx June 20th 2005 has been having trouble remembering and has only been on hydrox....Gleevac is next as a result of other factors.
 
So I think is more in rekation to all the stress, even me I am having more difficulty remembering trying to adjust to everything in panic mode.

Many have written that they have had memory loss for a
short time after starting on Gleevec . ..... could it
be that we start on Gleevec about the same time that
we find out we have Cancer?  Perhaps there is half a
chance ......... that we are so preoccupied with our
Disease that we forget normal life routines until we
get our act together.
