Heyyyy folks... This is my 8th month of dealing with this disorder ITP and for the past week I'm having a very bad headache and nausea feeling and too much tiredness. Is this the side effect of the tablet that I'm taking?

I was given Dapsone as one of my treatments but I don't remember it giving me a headache at the time. I  was still on a high dose of Prednisone and also took Dexmethasone so these 2 drugs tendered to over rule everything else in terms of side effects. Has the Dapsone had any effect on your blood oxygen levels as mine dropped a little while I was on it.

My first experience with ITP finished in November 2014 and I have been medication free since then and maintained a normal count.

I thankfully only had ITP for 9 months and it was NPlate (Romiplostim) that eventually put me into remission.

You should contact your doctor, as you've taken twice as much as you were suppose to.  I've never been on it, but if you're taken too much, you really should check w/your doctor.  Good luck!
