Hi everyone, I am having trouble finding a medication that doesn't have horrible side effects. I have just been prescribed Sulfasalazine for my RA and I already take Methotrexate, is anyone else on these , I would really like to hear how you are getting on with them, thank you .

If you type that into the search box and filter for NRAS then all posts regarding it will come up. Remember though that just because someone has had side effects it doesn’t mean you will and often they diminish the longer you take them. 😊
I agree with Kittys reply. I was on it, no problems though.
I’ve been taking sulphasalazine for 14 years with no issues, and now take 4000mg/day. Methotrexate made feel very ill. However, my friend took it and had a nasty reaction.
We are all different so unfortunately you won’t know unless you try. Fingers crossed you will be like me with no side effects.
I have been on Sulfasalazine for over 2 years, helped me tremendously 👏🏻👏🏻 In remission now, still have bloods done monthly to keep an eye on liver readings, as unfortunately for me all RA drugs seem to mess with my liver x Good luck 💕
Thats brilliant , thank you so much , that's made me feel better about it all. Just have tried so many different things so hopefully this is the one , 💕
I have only been on it for a short time about 9 weeks and have had no problems
I've been on it for several months; no problems and it seems to be having a good effect on my joints.
First month of Sulfasalazine was rough felt sick a lot but now have been on it for two years and no side effects
I take both of those meds with no problems, been on them for 4 years and now in remission for 2 years.It took about 3 months to start to feel the benefits, hope they work as well for you.
I've been on MXT 25 injections and sulpha for nearly 20 years and had few problems and am in remission. Feel so grateful and lucky it's worked for me. Took a good while for side effects to subside so stick with it if you can. Sending you good luck for your experience. Best wishes Jan B
