So 5 months ago I decided to stop it, hoping to get my life back(been off sick for 18 months, ever since j started this medication) unfortunately the extreme fatigue has never gone, and I am 100% sure it was caused by this medication.

STOP THIS DRUG! | My husband was given a 40% survival rate (only that high because we caught it early). He had to undergo extreme chemo & had a bone marrow transplant. He almost died several times. We are broke, he lost his business & he is now at high risk for other cancers. He has residual side effects from the ordeal including chronic fatigue. The Dr. did not warn us of a possibility of contracting this cancer & there was no warning at the time he started it. Now there is a black box warning. The Dr. did not monitor my husbands levels. as a matter of fact, he did not even have him come in for a checkup for 3 years. He just kept filling the script over the phone. We had no idea about the risks! | M | 48 | 12 years 125 1X day | 10/6/2014 |
