Hi wonderful people,

I was taking Xeloda 2000 mg for two weeks, then had two weeks off. My doctor gave me another week because of elevated liver enzymes. Then she lowed the dose to 1500 mg I started it a day ago. I am experiencing fatigue and tiredness just after two days. Please share your experience with Xeloda. Were you very tired? Did it go away with time and adjustment to this medication?

Thank you

Best,

Marina

are your gums and inner eyelids lighter red than usual..?. you could may be iron deficient - spatone is a good side effect free supplement / Bone treatments can reduce iron.

yes, I have experienced fatigue and breathlessness but I also have underlying conditions (scoliosis and spinal cord injury) that also effect my energy levels and lung capacity. I have only been on Xeloda a week so I am just taking it day by day and seeing how my body responds. Other than the fatigue and breathlessness, I am doing okay.
