Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hi Sassy, Do you drink enough water? That may be why the Sulfasazine makes you so tired. I take the brand name -- Azulfadine EN. To prevent liver toxicity and that lethargic feeling, my rheumy and pharmacist told me to drink 6-8 glasses of water or juice. (the med makes your urine turn orange. When it turns clear, you have had enough). Of course, it takes time to work out a schedule so you don't spend your whole day in the bathroom. Hope that helps, in VA > >Guess i just need to slow down...but after going full speed ahead >that sure is hard. I do sit with my legs up and massage my knee.
