I am so thankful for this drug. Everyone has a different story, but mine is a good one. Thank God for the India Lenalidomide. God bless all of you.Read More Read Less

I've only been taking this but side-effects terrible. feel weak, frail. I've dropped down to 15 mg from 25 mg but things haven't changed. I felt well until I started taking this medication - feel dreadful now so I think I can blame the medication. I'll just have to shut up and keep taking the lenalidomide as it is keeping me alive.

On it for 6 months --- Clinical Trial for High Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma. Itch -- take Claritin daily / Tired --- Rest alot / Stomach Issues --- Deal with them / Diareah/Constipated --- Each day is different / Headache --- Constant. My thoughts are that if I stop taking it I'll get worse so I deal with it --- some days better than others.
