Hi, Shannon. I think I remember you from one of the online chat sessions that Zavie Miller used to arrange so many years ago. I have been on Gleevec for 12½ yr now. I was quickly in remission and now take 300mg a day. I was told long ago to always eat protein before taking Gleevec to avoid upset stomach. I take 2 in the morning and one in the evening. Watermelon seems to help with nausea also. All goes well, thank the powers that be! I hope these suggestions can help you~ Take care... Angie in Canada

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.
