Hi I just found this page on line and am
interested in hearing about anyone who is
on cellcept. I have already been on
mexthotrexate and imuran and had to change
due to side effects. Any information or
comments are appreciated.

Cellcept
Hi djones
i've been on cellcept about a month. I
was doing cytoxan for the lupus (have
kidney problems) but my doctor and I
decided the cytoxan wasn't necessary after
my good bloods recently.
No side affects to speak of except for
severe nausea the first couple of days I
was on it.
Hope it helps!

I have been on cellcept for almost a year
and a half.
I have had no side effects and my kidneys
are much happier!
hugs,

Thanks for the information about cellcept.
I am not sure my last message posted..So
here goes. This is my first week on this
and I am still having lots of fatigue and
nausea. Other drugs have not keep me
from having joint flares/lung
inflammation. Had to stop taking
methotrexate due to liver problem side
effect. I appreciate the support

A lot of these drugs take a while to get
into your system. Are these symptoms
continued or new?
I think I remember it taking about 4-6
weeks for me to see a huge change with
cellcept...
Methotrexate...It took forever. Ugh! I
hated being on methotrexate. I had one
day a week where all I did was throw up.
(sorry for being gross).
