I have ET and on this drug for about 1 year,, I take 1500 mg a day to bring my platelet count down to 440. So far just tired in the afternoon. I do worry about the long term effect.

I was running out of breath and then woke me up so many times to catch up with breathing.I got scared and fought myself against sleeping until the side effects wore off. I went to sleep at 5 am. I've been taking this medication for couple of years now, but I wonder if this is a delayed side effect of the drug on me.

Treatment for polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, 2+years after initial side effects, doing relatively well. (Although I catch just about every cold that is out there)
