Velcade Reviews

For Multiple Myeloma "I was given Thalidomide and Dex when my MM was first diagnosed in 2005. After nine months, Velcade was administered before I had a stem cell transplant in 2006. My number was 286, and within one month on Velcade with Dex, it dropped to 5. I was in remission for a year and a half after the transplant, and now I am looking for help. My doctor tried the new Revlimid and Dex, which gave me all the same side effects that Thalidomide and Dex had earlier, such as neuropathy, mouth sores, dizziness, etc."

For Multiple Myeloma "I received Velcade for multiple myeloma for four and a half months. I was scheduled for another four months but reached a level of remission that did not require any more chemo. Pleased with the results. I add that I made major adjustments to my diet per recommendations of natural cancer care books and articles. The treatments worked well together."

For Multiple Myeloma "Diag stage 3 Apr 2006, Rcvd fist velcade treatment--shot not IV, weekly starting Jun 2013 for six months , side effects of combined treatment greatly reduced while on velcade Dec 2013, complete remission, no maint therapy. Then montly velcade Jan 2015 to current."

For Multiple Myeloma "I did 6/3-week cycles of Velcade injection once per week. Over 18 weeks, it completely knocked the cancer back and put me back into remission. Then my problems started. Now, 7 weeks in remission, and I feel worse than ever. Fatigue is terrible, no strength in my legs, lack of balance, having to use a walking stick. The upper part of my body is okay, blood pressure is normal, body temperature is normal. I feel weaker than at any time while on chemo."

For Multiple Myeloma "My Dr started me on Velcade the day I was diagnosed. I had multiple myeloma in 94% of my body when diagnosed. Very minimal side effects. My face gets flushed and hot for a few days after treatment and I’m a little more tired than normal. With all that being said, I thank the Lord and my Doctor for this treatment."

For Multiple Myeloma "Numbness in my feet and fingers. Drug made me feel outside my body."

Very crabby, emotional, break through bleeding after a week and a half, felt like I had morning sickness, sore breasts constantly, first month on it ovarian cyst grew from 3cm to 4.7 cm. Not taking anymore, not worth the problems, too many side effects.

bipolar sideeffect when taking SSRI

I experienced much healing with my toenail funguses through the past year with oral Terbinafine (generic to Lamisil tabs) still the fungus keeps coming back!!....I had go on and off the medicine for a years time span, thus far, with three month intervals.....Also expereinced temendous hair loss all over my body! Head to toe! Not taking this prescription any more! Too much hair loss for a female on my scalp! Also it can kill the hair folicle permanently; I read online and from the manufacturers insert side effects! Always acquire the manufactureres insert for side efects! That is the TELL-ALL!! ....the printed manuscript the pharmacust gives you with the prescription "DOES NOT" list all the side effects as does the manufacturerers insert! Good Luck! I also had to have a very small part of one of my large toenails surgically removed last year because the fungused toenail curved sooo much into my skin it was unbeareable to wear shoes, the pain was hideous...the nail grew back well though acquired another fungus. Hoping to find a natural remedy or use Lamisil creme or gel.

Had been on 150 mg of venlafaxine for several years, but began having crying jags and insomnia. So Dr. changed me to Pristiq. Started feeling horrible the first day! Brain zaps and dizziness, blurred vision, night terrors, sweating, tremors, insomnia, headach. You name it I had it! It was the most horrible experience of my life!Could not tell if symptoms were caused by Pristic or from with drawal from Venlafaxine.Went back to my Dr. after 5 days and he told me THERE WERE NO WITHDRAWAL EFFECTS TO EITHER DRUG! Also that I should not have side effects to Pristic if I had tolerated venlafaxine. WTF!!!I know how horrible I felt, so either I am totally nuts or I need to change Doctors!I am now off both drugs and I feel fine!

I had painful lesions on previously healthy tissue, opposite of application site. My husband has sloughing of forskin, redness and irritation. Will discontinue after reading that many others experience same painful side effects.
