My doctor had to lower my dose to 500mg a day and my body adapted to the slightly lower dose. Inform your doctor of all the side effects you are experiencing and he/she maybe able to help with that.

Hi jbrotherson111 - If you are on 600 mg a day you just might need to have the dosage adjusted. I was placed on 400 mg a day because of my body size and weight and the only side effects were constipation and once during the two year period I had my red blood cells tank and had to go off the Lynparza for a two week period and occasional brain fog. You may want to talk to you doctor and see if a reduction might be in order.

It may take your body time to adjust . Give it a while and if it doesn't get better talk to your oncologist about reducing the dose or stopping then coming back on at a lower dose. What dose are you on? 600? If you can tolerate it somehow this is a drug that may help keep you progression fee for years if you are a brca carrier. I have non stop headaches and sinus pain with it but its tolerable with pain meds.. 2 years on it can give you many more years of life after it! You won't be on it forever... but get it to where it works for you. ..

That is what my doctor did also. He lowered to 500 last week. I havent started yet. The pharmacy called yesterday to refill the original. The side effects on 600mg have calmed down but, no where near long term. I talked with the specials pharmacist yesterday. He was able to tell me that my horrific side effects were opposite of the of the usual and common ones. He had a word for it, but, as usual i will remember that word when i don't want to say it or write it. He looked at some studies that i could not find and said that there was no evidence that a reduced dose would or would not keep the cancer from reoccurring.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
