"Been on sulfasalazine for 3 years, for me the first 2 weeks were hard on the stomach. Felt like I was going to vomit all the time but never did, it was slow to have the effect maybe a month, but after that it has been good. Still get flare up the odd time. It is inexpensive compared to the other medications."

"I have rheumatoid arthritis and have been using Sulfasalazine for the last 4 years as an 'add-on' to methotrexate. I take the maximum dose, but must confess that I can only see a minimal reduction of pain using this medicine."

"I have had a small improvement with sulfasalazine, but unfortunately, I started having severe ringing in the ears after 6 months. Also, it gave me pain in my Achilles tendon and calves at night. Keep in mind that I had the pain side effect also with cholesterol medications, but not the ringing in the ears."

"Nasty stuff. First had extreme tiredness, then stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, fever, chills, rash. Went to emergency. Was on it total of 3 1/2 weeks. Stopped it two days ago, still not well. Maybe go back to methotrexate."

"Taking for 3 weeks. Such severe headaches ended up in the ER. Doesn’t matter if it helps joint pain if the headache is continuous and unbearable. This is a vile drug and would not recommend it to anyone."
