I've been on it for about a year and a half. My hair is minimal now; and it seems to have stopped helping like it did the first few months. I'm on 50mg now and Dr. Hines at Jewish said maybe I could use a bigger dose. Yikes!!! I also take a lot of prednisone and may be put on a maintenance dose. From what I can find online, the side effects of Cellcept are not as severe and a lot of you seem to be on that particular drug. Any input out there? I have not had my final call from Dr. Hines after she does the complete workup but would like some information on this. It never hurts to know more about it when talking with the doctor.ann PF, HP etc.. since 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
