Morning Kym. I have been on Verzenio since March of 2023. While it has been a very affective drug for me the side effects can be pretty brutal. The good news is that a good doctor will ask you about side effects so keep a log. The doctor can then use your experience to determine if perhaps you need a dose reduction. I really struggled for a while with side effects but as soon as I found a decent doctor she reduced my dose and my side effects have reduced significantly as well. I hope you much success. 🤗

I have been on Verzenio 200 mg twice a day for 4 weeks now. I noticed more "mild" chemo side effects such as fatigue & nausea. However, the diarrhea is REAL!! I have to take an anti-diarrheal with every pill. My dr cut the dose last week to 150mg twice a day & that seems to be much more manageable. I also take Letrozol & haven't had any side effects from it.
