Xalkori Reviews

I have been taking Xalkori since the end of May 2012. In the first 30 days, I had trouble keeping food down, lost 20 lbs and felt VERY sick. Praise God, I am on Zofran for the nausea and am keeping food down. I have started to feel better, much better than a few weeks ago.... But still get fatigued easy and overall feel weak. I am 50 years old. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it gets better?

Thank you! I appreciate your response. I am thinking of seeing if I still need the Zofran.
Hi Karen,
After doing some research on Zofran (Ondansetron), I found that this medication does list weakness, tiredness, and shortness of breath, as common side effects. This could explain the overall weak feeling that you may be experiencing.
You can view a list of side effects by following the link below:

I hope this helps shed some light on why you might be feeling a certain way. Because the feeling of weakness is most-likely being caused by the medication, it should go away if you stop taking it or find another alternative medicine with less side effects.
