I started taking Leflunomide at 10mg per day last Friday and don't know if the way I have been feeling is due to side effects from them or not. I am recovering from a major operation which I had in mid-November and had to come off Mtx for that, but I have now been back on it for four weeks. I am very tired and could just sleep all the time, but that was happening before I started on Leflunomide. Yesterday, I felt very low and tearful and am not nearly as bad as that today although I woke up at 5.30am with a migraine.
I also take Furosemide tablets and I asked about this by ringing and speaking to one of the rheumy nurses because it says in the leaflet with the Leflunomide tablets that they shouldn't be taken when on Furosemide. She spoke to the rheumatologist who said it would be alright as long as my blood tests are kept up and my blood pressure doesn't get to high.
I suppose I am just asking what other people's experiences are on Leflunomide and if anyone else takes both of these tablets.
