Even lately I feel dizzy as taking hydroxy twice a day as platelets high around 920000
Your experience helped me as to why I feel drowsy after starting this medicine in morning too. Hope speedy recovery to ALL

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, taking hydroxyurea at night really does help with sleep and one is not as dizzy or drowsy in the morning . Even with just one 500 mg. tablet in the a.m. had me bumping into walls when going to other rooms in the house. My platelets were a bit over 1 million and now I am at a high normal level of 450,000. Had blood drawn last week but I am not sure if my blood platelet count has decreased.

Wishing you a speedy recovery too!!
