Hi Moh - You should stick with the dosage and medication your doctor has prescribed. If you have concerns, consider contacting your care team for assistance. I think just about all the medications you take can cause fatigue and weakness. (I always experience fatigue and weakness with the Zometa.).
When I have concerns about labs, I email my doctor through our online medical portal and ask for clarification.
Hope this helps and hope you feel better soon. Peace and blessings. 🤗

I agree, ask your Doctor, Moh. Whenever your medicines change, ask why & what will be the benefit for the change. ❤️

Moh I would listen to your Doctor. Ask him what he thinks is best for you

I had a nasty rash on my shoulders, upper back, and chest after taking revlimid for a few months, back in 2016. My doctor switched me to pomalyst, which I took until about January of 2022. A rash is a common reason that people are taken off of Revlimid.

Moh, be sure and tell your doctor about the rash and itchiness - those are often a sign of an allergy to a medication. He will need to figure out which one is causing these symptoms.
