Taylor,
I'm currently on a half dose of Tasigna because I could not tolerate the full or a three quarter dose. I take 150 in am and again in pm. The oncologist asked how I was taking it and agreed with this dosage schedule. We did not discuss it explicitly but my assumption was that she did not want times of very low levels if I just took it once a day....but that is an assumption on my part. Because Trey knows his stuff I'll probably call and check with her to make sure. Good luck!
By the way, I reached PCRU in September after taking T for 10 months. We are hoping I can maintain it at this dose.
