Hi Pat,
I've been on Sprycel in a clinical trial since 2005. Although I take my 100
mg in the morning, I've never been told to take it at any particular time of
day. I don't have the headache problem either. However, I have just
returned from a meeting of some CML patients where we were all sharing
stories of our journey and there are people who take their meds at night in
order to sleep through the side effects. I can't remember now if these were
Sprycel or Gleevec patients.
Perhaps you can get a sleeping aid from your doc and take it at the same
time as Sprycel in the pm so you go to sleep before the headache strikes.
Just an idea.

Subject: [CMLHope] More Questions About Sprycel
Hello everyone, Hope all is well. I hate to be such a nuisance, but I
have a question about the sprycel. The directions say to take in the
morning, but as I mentioned before, they give me an excruciating
headache and my chest feels...I really don't know how to describe it,
I guess you could say, I have a tight feeling in my chest. Does anyone
take their sprycel at night? I used to take my Gleevec at night
usually eat a small bowl of cereal or oatmeal just so I could sleep
through the side effects and my onc/hemo said this was fine but I
don't know if the sprycel can be taken like this too. The headache is
so bad, it may interfere with my sleep.....I don't know. Please
someone advise me on this. Thanks
Love,peace,hope & prayers, Pat
