Nausea!
Hi, I can understand that you have just started to take sulfasalazine. I am taking the medicine for past 8 months for the problem of my low back pain. As the doctor told, it took a month for me to realize the effect of the medication. Initially for first 6 months i had to take few general multivits and folic along with the main medication. but now i have stopped taking all those and i am consuming 2 sulfasalazine capsules one in morning and one in night. Though i am not totally revealed from the problem, i am much better than what i was before. So, nothing to worry. let me know on what you are suffering so that i can know your problem better.Because sulfasalazine is adviced for many problems which are not exactly RA but related in someway or the other. Take care.

Hello, my name is Paul and I have just started sulfasalazine. How long did it take before you began to feel relief? I have been on it for nearly one month and have not experienced relief. My ra is mostly knees, elbows, hands.thanks.

Nausea!
I have Crohn's disease, and was recently put on Sulfasalazine to replace the Pentasa that I could not afford (love our health care system). I have been having numerous problems with the side effects of this medication, the worst being almost constant nausea. My doctor cut my dose in half, but it really hasn't helped that much. Wondering if anyone else has been on this, and found a solution to the nausea. Ginger ale just isn't cutting it. Any info or personal experience would be helpful.

Nausea!
Hi,
I just started taking sulfasalazine for ulcerative colitis. It helped a a lot with the symptons, but after about 5 days on it, i developed a very intense half sided, throbbing headache. I initially thought this was because I had been doing a lot of reading, and spent a whole day resting, with no relief. On second thoughts, i think it may have been due to the drug. Has anybody else noticed this effect? It's also difficult to keep up the fluid intake required for this drug, coz I have this funny taste in my mouth that makes it hard to drink water, and I'm watching my weight, so a lot of sweet drinks will not do either.
Any help, anyone?
