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! Smile

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 Smile

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).

I hope you feel better soon!
Hugs,
