Do the side effects of Naraparib improve as time goes on? Currently struggling with sleep

Can anyone tell me if side effects improve after being on Naraparib for a few months?  I'm into my third week and having trouble sleeping.  I don't want to rely on sleeping tablets.  Thank you.

  • I'm sorry to hear of the trouble you've been having with your sleep since you started taking Naraparib 3 weeks ago.

    This must be very frustrating but I hope some of the tips and advice we have on coping with insomnia will help.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had similar difficulties will share their experiences and advice with you soon as well but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're thinking of you Elphelia and hope your sleep starts to get better soon.

    Kind regards,

  • Thanks for your input Steph.  I am sleeping better but had to resort to sleeping tablets.  I don't want to rely on them but at the moment needs must.
