It really depends on your white blood counts, not the medicine.  Sometimes when people just start, their white blood count can go low befeore equalizing.  What were the results of your last bloodwork and when?

Last Tuesday blood results had me at 11.1 for WBC.  This is down from 24.

Once you bloodwork returns to normal, your resistance should be the same as it was before you got CML.
