For Breast Cancer "Very helpful after lowering the dose from 150 to 100. Was more bearable with side effects. Cancer tumors shrank dramatically. I feel a lot better, still kinda tired on some days, but very tolerable. I don't vomit anymore and less going to the restroom."

For Breast Cancer "Started on Verzenio. At first, I had diarrhea when eating milk products, including small amounts of dairy in any foods. This was at 150 mg twice daily. The diarrhea got worse and would not stop no matter what I ate. It slowed to a stop when I went on the 100 mg. My lungs have a bit of a problem, my creatinine levels are a bit high, and my white count is down. I am tired and need 1-2 naps a day. But I am managing. I am back to work 1-3 days a week. Loving my job. I found Gatorade and Powerade to help along with my vitamins."

For Breast Cancer "Verzenio is the hardest drug I've been on. So many side effects I'm too tired to mention. Reduced to 100 mg, still the exhaustion is the worst side effect. Came off for radiation and felt amazing. Forgot how great I used to feel before this shitty drug."

For Breast Cancer "I’ve been taking Verzenio for just over 1.5 years and have about 5 months to go. I'm taking it because I’m at high risk for recurrence. I take 150 mg twice daily. I have diarrhea just about every day, often multiple times per day. Imodium helps, but I have to take that sparingly or I will have the opposite problem. I am exhausted all the time and have very low energy. I have terrible GERD also, but Pepcid has really helped that. I will finish this medication because I’ll do anything to have as much time as possible with my family. I feel the side effects are worth the potential benefits."
