Kris,
Wow, it is really great to hear from someone who is on the same treatment plan and know that it has been working for 2 years. Thanks for reaching out. I am on 150 mgs twice a day. My neutrophil count has dropped twice so I was taken off the med for a few days....more labwork showed it went back up so back on the medication again. I really don't have any major issues with other side effects at this point. Curious to know what side effects have caused your wife's dosage to be lowered. It's great you are there for your wife. I would be lost without the support of my husband. Hope the good days continue for you both.

J,
Jenny's side effects were vomiting and very severe diarrhea. She was taken off of the Verzenio several times for just a week to get the side effects under control, at one point it was dropped to 100mg twice a day, then eventually to 50mg twice a day, 50 is the lowest dosage they make of Verzenio. She gets it through the mail, they sent 6 boxes of imodium with her first order, at first we thought that was an excessive amount, we quickly became thankful that they did.
