Does Gleevec dosages ever change?

Presently on 400 mg Gleevec twice a day... does this ever change to one a day?

That's a very high dose. "High dose" imatinib is usually considered 600mg, and the standard dose is 400mg.

Do you know why you were placed on 800mg? How long have you been on that dose, and when were you diagnosed?
