"I have been prescribed 2 tablets of 500 milligrams three times a day for my rheumatoid arthritis, and I have been taking this medication for over a year. However, I have not noticed any pain relief from it. When I started taking it, I experienced nausea and had to reduce the dosage to four tablets a day. I gradually increased it back up to six tablets a day, but it still does not seem to be helping me."

Azulfidine (sulfasalazine) "Worked really well when I was younger. Now 30 years later, it isn't as effective, and it causes stomach upset. Even when taken with food."

"Sulfasalazine initially caused extreme headaches upon waking, extra strength acetametaphine worked for those. It took months to begin to work and I eventually got to 4 pills per day. It took an extra six months for it to work well. I still have low grade inflammation but at least I am not miserable anymore, can sleep through the night and get up fairly well. So it did work but for me it took a super long time to do so. My CRP dropped to normal (2 from 16.5) well before I felt close to normal."
