Oncrx Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi, It may be easier to remember if you take it first thing in the morning.  The benefit of taking it at night is that you might have more energy during the day.     Roz Rosalind Mon, 05 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT I was on Tarceva for 2 years.  I found that if you take it in the morning it makes you tired and you have less energy.  I took it 2 hrs after dinner every evening, Never forgot it.  You have a good nights sleep!!Good luck Vette Vette Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 5/2/2008 sinhsanh wrote:Hi, please advise me: taking Tarceva in the early morning right after wake-up and eat meal 1 hr after or  taking it 2 hrs after dinner before going to bed, which way is the best?Thanks you so muchI find that I feel worst during the first 8 to 10 hours after taking the Tarceva. So when I started taking it at bedtime, I was able to sleep through the worst of the toxic symptoms. That worked much better for me than taking it in the morning an hour before breakfast.Henry henry8 Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 5/2/2008 sinhsanh wrote:Hi, please advise me: taking Tarceva in the early morning right after wake-up and eat meal 1 hr after or  taking it 2 hrs after dinner before going to bed, which way is the best?Thanks you so much I tried both ways with Tarceva and found that taking it early in the morning was best for me.  Bobby onemind Sat, 31 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
