Just wondering if anyone has changed from azathioprine to methotrexate? What were your results. Also anyone used rituximab or mycophenolate?

I was swapped from azathioprine to 6-mercaptopurine as azathioprine made my white cell count plummet. Everything is now fine on 6-mercaptopurine. I haven't seen anyone else mention this drug on this site, I don't know why that is. I also take 400mg hydroxychloroquine, which for me is super-effective (no more aches and pains, eye problems, dry mouth improved etc.)

Good luck with your change of meds.
