Hi Jeff. It's very much a trial and error matter I'm afraid. I've tried nearly all this family of drugs - stuck each (or combined therapies) out as long as I could bear to before finally having to quit each for severe reactions. I'm presently on Mycophenolate and have appeared to tolerate it well for six months but am getting increase in GI symptoms and not sure it's doing much for my symptoms to be honest. All you can do is be guided by your consultant and give it a try. Unfortunately it gave me pancreatitis after 3 weeks but this is a relatively rare complication.
