Hi, I have  just started in a clinical drug study program with Revlimid. My doctor seems to think I may be on the drug rather than the placebo by the way my blood tests are reacting.

My question is side effects: Dizziness, headaches, fatigue, tremors and others. Is anyone on Revlimid, and are these associated side effects? Thank-you

I have also just started Revlimid---been on for two months. My white count dropped a bit after the first month, and dropped quite a bit the second (down to 1200) so I am off for a while, and my oncologist is checking with the pharmasist to change the dose. The only side effect I can report are really tight calf muscles and some calf cramps (yeowch) upon waking. Info about the drug did mention muscle cramps as a side effect. Good luck to you.

Revlimid
			
I was on Revlimid for 3 months off now cause it interfers in harvesting stem cells. Be my side affect were fatigue and terrible flem I comstantly couged up and that made me sick.But Ive been off Revlimid for 3 weeks and 2 1/2 weeks I was terrible sick lost 7lbs. I think the side affects are different in different people. I also pretty much lost my voice. Had some dizziness but no tremors. Get shaky from the styrods I take. I've lost 35 to 40 because of the Revlimid making me sick.
