Truqap usage questions

[MaxiesMom]

I am taking Truqap and fulvesant. Last scans were good but I am tired. Anyone else experience this with these meds?

Yes, fatigue is a side effect for both of those meds. I’ve been taking them together since last June. The fatigue reduces during my days off from the Truqap.

Seems all of the drugs we are offered have fatigue as a side effect.

[MaxiesMom in reply to JEE123]

Thanks. Good to hear from others. I sometimes feel very alone on those journey and not sure how accurately I interpret my symptoms.

Thank you for sharing with me. For 4 hours after taking my morning dose, I can't do anything. The fatigue lifts in the afternoon I hope it will be getting easier.

The very same lurks here.

I know nothing about the drug you are on, but you should tell your doctor. Sometimes I think we wait to long to "complain". A dose reduction is often available.

Exhaustion is a better word for it. Still, blood results are much better and Monday's Pet scan will tell more.

[MaxiesMom in reply to jersey-jazz]

Sending prayers for a great PET scan tomorrow.

Dear MaxiesMom---Thank you so much! Prayers and good wishes work wonders for me. I am feeling completely shattered, today and will be aiming for the bed very soon, feeling sorry for myself. Your prayers have come at the right time. XXX OOO
