"I am starting sulfasalazine for the second time as the first time I ended up coming down with the flu a couple of times, so I decided to wait. My symptoms have been worse, so I just started it again. I am on my last day of two pills in the morning and one in the evening. No real bad side effects other than increased joint aching, especially in the hip. I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night as I just couldn't get comfortable at all. I'm supposed to increase gradually up to three pills in the morning and three at night. I will have to see how it goes, though. I am not really patient when it comes to side effects."

"This medicine helped with the pain. There used to be a time I could not move due to my psoriatic arthritis in my legs, neck, shoulders, and down my spine. I also suffer from psoriasis and it helps to mild the flare-up as well. But I have to take another medicine called Taltz, they work together to give you better results."

"Have to admit it works, but the metallic taste in mouth and heart palpitations make me nervous. Haven’t slept for two days because of fast heartbeat. Called my doctor, but he prescribed some medication to reduce the palpitations. Not sure what to expect. It’s the early second month into the treatment with this med. Fingers crossed."

"Took a while to feel worthwhile improvements. Also a long (nearly 2 months) of side effects like hot flushes about an hour after taking pill. Serious bloating & nausea & loss of appetite. Disturbed sleeping, still happening. Dropped 5kg, which is not a bad thing when you have arthritis. Now"

"I too am using sulfasalazine for psoriatic arthritis, and it has helped somewhat, and I too have ringing in my ears. Suffice to say, it has helped, so I do recommend it."

"Great response. Reduces P.A. symptoms to virtually zero. Been taking it for 30+ years with no side effects other than increased bleeding if I cut myself."

"I have noticed steady weight gain and swelling, especially in my legs and ankles, on sulfasalazine. I'm going to discuss it with my doctor and hope he will put me back on methotrexate."

"Very easy to use. I take 1000 mg twice a day. Am a little anemic, but all other blood work has been good for over 15 years. Take with methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis."

"Itching in a part of my skin, especially in the evening. I had not this problem before. After 6 years, which I administered this tablet, my skin problem has started."

"On a low dose for psoriatic arthritis. Not as good as Methotrexate but does not cause hair loss."
