Hello everyone, happy new year to you all............................................ Been on sulfasalzine for 2 weeks now but got bad pain

Definitely see your GP, and ask about slowing down the SSZ increases, so you have more chance to get used to it. if it is the SSZ that is making you feel ill, then increasing to the next dose right now will just make you feel a whole lot worse,and maybe even trigger a hypersensitivity reaction. The reason they get you to start with one tablet and slowly increase is so that your body can get used to them gradually and minimise the reaction you would get if you took the whole lot straight off, so the golden rule is to not move to the next dose level until you are tolerating the current dose OK. That doesn't just go for DMARDs, but for any med that takes a bit of getting used to. Most folk can increase as prescribed, but some folk do need to take it a bit slower.
