Is anyone on Verzenio known as Abemaciclib. I was told by my oncologist it might help reduce the chance of recurrence. Any side effects?

I have been on Verzenio for almost a year. The first month is hard. Diarrhea for about four weeks with using anti diarrhea meds. Headaches (just annoying not debilitating). About week 6 I noticed no headaches and the diarrhea subsiding. I did have to stop for two weeks due to surgery and stopping it and starting it restarts symptoms. But once you hit that mark for me it was smooth sailing.
