I had some improvement on MTX/SSZ double therapy but unfortunately side effects meant SSZ was changed to LEF, which equally had to be stopped. I remain on MTX injections as mono therapy (11 years now) at varying doses. Many people do well on SSZ, no reason to suggest you won’t, I hope so anyway. Just give it a good go as in common with other DMARDs it's not quick acting, though improvement may be noticed sooner than the 12 weeks suggested.

I was on mtx injection with sulphasalazine. The mtx injections were better for me because tablets made me nauseous the next day. I was also on hydroxy. Triple therapy. It was fine for a while.
