Any comments on verzenio and vertigo/dizziness? About to start it after Ibrance fail, and no one (Dr or pharmacist) mentioned dizziness. I have a history of vertigo. I get the package and a bold yellow sticker warns of dizziness. Comments please.

Hi, I’ve been on Verzenio for 3 months and I do get some dizzy spells. Not to severe though and only on occasion. Good luck.

Thanks so much. I had such a bad experience with Ibrance, I'm really afraid of the side effects. Thank you for responding.

I’ve been on Verzenio for 3 months. No vertigo or dizziness at all. But the fatigue is the worst so far. I’ve been on Ibrance previously and that had fatigue, but this is worse.

I don't know how I'll manage with even more tiredness. I'm always so tired.

It's so stressful. I took my first doe of Verzenio this evening and I went to sleep at 10:30.

I'm already awake now. Tired, but can't sleep. Too achy and anxious I guess.

Thank you so much for your response

I heard on this site that exercise was good for tiredness. -I have been doing regular workout particularly walking which helps you sleep 😄

I do walk as much as I can. I also do a little body weight work.

I use a cane all the time, sometimes my hip is so painful I use a walker. Also much pain in my right shoulder. I am a mess.

I've been on it for a month and have had occasional dizziness in the first week and diarrea on and off all the time but now everything has settled and have been fine. Good luck!!

Thank you, I don't do well with any dizziness. I pray I will also settle.

I'm feeling very anxious and my fingers are cold and tingly.

God bless you.

I just saw a neurologist for verigo this week. I have right-sided BPPV. When he would position me down on the table I was dizzy and when I looked to the right my eyes would twitch. He gave me exercises to do by Carol Foster, Univ of Colorado Hosp. The only issue I have is getting up off my knees. So have someone help you. He said to do the exercises for several days and then ever other week. I am attaching one video. She has other videos out there. I am on Kisqali but have inflammation of lung. Kisqali has been on hold for 8 weeks. I have been on 60mg prednisone for a week. Follow up with pulmonary dr next week. I am enjoying the prednisone energy boost and feel like running errands outside of home. I am wishing you strength to get through this and to get active which is so hard when we are fatigue.
