I've noticed I sleep lighter and take longer to fall asleep on bosulif, but it's getting better. The first few weeks I felt kind of wired on it at night though.

I've been on Bosulif since Nov 2012 and have settled on a dosage of 400. Night sweats were common in first couple years, but are rare now. Of course it could be because we keep our bedroom cold for sleeping, which also helps with quality of sleep. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Recently have had problems with sleep though and haven't attributed it to the TKI as much as age and life issues. Dr gave me a light sleep aid to help and I take it on occasions when needed. It's called hydroxyzine hcl, 25 mg. It's more of an anti anxiety and anti histamine product and not habit forming.

Sleeplessness is a hard thing to analyze. It has so many causes. Wish you the best in resolving yours.
Dx - 05/2011; PCR: 15.04; Fish: 87% Slow responder due to pancytopenia. Current - Bosulif - Nov: 2012, Mar 2016 lowered to 300 mg. 07/16 back to 400 mg. Clinical trial drug, Promacta, Feb 2013, for low Platelets.
CyCR - Aug 2014, Positive for 1 chromosome Sep 2015. PCR: 12.77 in Oct, 2012 to 0.04 (MDA) in Mar, 2016. 4/2016 - 0.126 (Local lab (IS); 05/2016 - 0.195 (local); 6/2016 - 0.07 (MDA); 7/2016 - 0.03 (local) 9/13/2016 - 0.16 (MDA); 9/26/2016 - 0.31 (MDA); 11/2016 - 0.012 (local); 01/2017 - 0.24 (MDA); 04/2017 - 0.09 (MDA); Cytogenetics show der(1:7)(q10;p10)7 chromosome mutation. Repeat of Sep 2015. PCR - 6/2017- 0.035 (local); 10/2017- 0.02 (MDA)
