Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 P, This is the first chance I'm having to do some real catching up myself. I'm happy that the new med is providing you with some relief. How long were you on the vioxx and what dosage? I am on vioxx also, but only for a month now. 2 wks at 25mg and now the last 2 wks at 50mg. On a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (great pain) the 1st 2 weeks @ 25mg I was at 8, and the same scale level of 8 the last 2 wks. Did it take so long to work for you? How long does it take to start feeling significantly better? I don't consider 8 on the pain scale to be significant enough. Hope you continue to do well, Sylvia > Hi all - a special welcome to all the newbies! I haven't been posting anything lately because I've been in a bad flare (needless to say I am way behind on my email) My dr put me on a new med called sulfasalazin - 500 mg, 2 tablets, twice each day. I am still on Vioxx along with it. Has anyone been on sulfasalazin before? What can you tell me about it? I've been on it for 1 week now at half the dosage, starting tomorrow I will take the full dosage. It seems to be giving me some relief - at least I make it through a day at work without too much trouble > > P > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
