Hi Shannon. I was on Gleevec for two years. I remember having a lot of nausea/vomiting for months, until I decided to split the dose, taking half with breakfast and the other half with dinner. No more nausea after that! My doc said, because Gleevec has a long half-life (18 hrs.), it doesn't really matter how you take it. So, you may want to give this a try.
