Venclexta (venetoclax) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Venclexta (venetoclax)
These doses are ramped up each week, the first day I was on the 400 mg I had violent vomiting. You have to take it with a higher fat meal, which I do, but even some days, it still makes me really sick at my stomach. I think it also makes me tired and causes a cough and some sinus problems.
I am only supposed to be on it for one more year, it's a two-year protocol, they also usually give it with gazayva which I refused to take

It did help with my disequilibrium problem, but not worth it to be constantly in pain under my right ribs; am now weaning myself off it but wish I could come off faster without risking major hot flushes. I'm on the Estradot patch.
lunatic, irritability, aggressive. This medication shouldn't be available over the counter.
Feel worse than before the stents. Was high anxiety that caused me to get stents. Now I'm even more anxious. The heart palpitations are the worst! I almost went to ER several times. Dr told me to take a beta blocker when that happens to slow the heart!
Breast tenderness, mood swings, and break through bleeding the first few months(normal for any hormone change)
None. Took at bedtime and haven't noticed anything.
A bit loopy. No, actually quite high the first dose out of each bottle or when I hadn't taken it in awhile. Sometimes I get a a little nauseous as with many narcotics. This being a nasal spray, you get a very nasty bitter taste when it starts to go down the back if your throat. A little drowsiness.
I started out very slow with this medicine. I had bad experiences in the past with other meds, so i wanted to start at a low dosage and move up slowly. I started at 1/4 of the 150, and moved up by 1/4 about every four days. After about a month now, I am at 275mg. My side effects have definitely faded. I experience occasional irritability. My appetite has remained smaller, and I've lost about 6-8lbs. I am already feeling better. More motivated, more energy, generally happy and satisfied. I would like to see more improvements though on my social anxiety. But, so far, I am very satisfied!
The very first week or two I took loestrin I had some side effects. Random cramps and really long periods. I also felt really tired all of the time but I blamed it on my very active and stressful lifestyle. I knew there would probably be side effects for the first 2-3 weeks just because my body needed to get used to it. The cramping stopped after 2 weeks but I noticed that all of the sudden my view on life was very negative. I've always been known for my bubbly and happy personlaity. I am an optimist by nature. Over the past 2 months, I began to hate my job, my school, the people I hung out with and on top of that felt extremely depressed all of the time. I once again blamed it on stress. Maybe I had finally hit the breaking point of what I could handle mentally and physically. I work 40 hrs a wk plus full time job and other activities. Well, let's just say the last 2 months have been close to the worst ever in my life. Everyone I've talked to swears that bc should not have such a toll on you. Whether or not it should. I have no idea. But I do know that the very next day after I stopped taking the loestrin. I was able to function again. I would never reccomend this to anyone.
Terrible, debilitating side effects. Doctors act like they've never heard of them. Teeth chills, pressure in brain, dizziness, nausea. Interested in getting a petition started about dangers of this drug.
