Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I take 3000 mg of sulfasalazine each day. Have been taking it since 2004. It has really helped me. I have not had any trouble with the medicine. Hope this helps. Miny ktandtm <ktandtm@...> wrote: Does anyone have any experiences they can share about it?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Maybe you are allergic to sulfa drugs if sulfasalazine gave you a bad rash. Seprta and Bectrim are sulfa drugs which gave me a bad, very itchy rash. Debbie L > > I got a bad rash that started on my feet and spread all the way up.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi All Am wondering about other member's experience with Sulfasalazine (Salazopyrin). My daughter was put on this drug in an attempt to control a mystery condition (aka the doctors have NO idea what on earth is going on). She was on a half dose for the first week and started having trouble getting to sleep. It slowly got worse during that week. When the dose doubled in the second week all hell broke loose. By the end of the third week she hadn't slept for 4 days/nights AT ALL. I got no response from the doctor when I called (took him a week to ph me back) so I decided to take her off it. It took 4 weeks until she returned to normal. It was a terrifying experience. The doctor's comment was " Well it's not a KNOWN side effect " Guess what? I fired him. I look forward to hearing if anyone else has had an experience similar to this. Melbourne, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
