It sounds like you are getting dexamethasone with your treatments. They are not addictive. They do help the chemo work better to get rid of the myeloma. It is probably a good thing that you tolerate them well. Make sure you are doing some weight bearing exercises and some exercises so you don't lose muscle mass. They do have side effects 💗

Sometimes I think im hooked on the morphine ER that I take for back pain and neuropathy but I stop for 3–4 days just to make sure and just take Tylenol ,heat, THC and do little or nothing during those days but the Morphine ER stops 85% of my issues. My oncologist said that Im not hooked it works for me where the hydrocortisone and some othe pain medication requires constant increase in strength dosage to be effective

I am in kylost and my head hurts 24/7

Man I wish I felt good after Velcade treatment. I feel little or nothing until 3 days and fatigue sets in for 3 days.

Yes dex,valcade and darabum. Zometa every 3 months. I feel wonderful for a couple days after treatment then fatigue set in after about 3 days. I guess the dex have me so jack up is the reason I'm feeling so good. My Onc reduce the dex from 5 tablets to 3 tablets and i only take them the day of my treatments and the day after.
