Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi, I am very happy to have joined this group, thank you. I have been on 80 mgs. of prednisone for a month. For two weeks I have been on 150 mgs. of Cytoxan daily. I was on Cytoxan for about a week when I started to notice shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Is there anyone out there that is on cytoxan and if so is there anyone who is having these breathing problems? Obviously I am very concerned. Should I accept this side effect or is this such a serious side effect that I should ask my doctor to take me off of it. Or, if this side effect is o.k. how long does it last? Has anyone had to be on 150 mgs. of Cytoxan or 80 mgs. of prednisone? And I was told that I have to be on Cytoxan for a year after my RP goes int remission. Is this typical?
