Crissie,

gunnyl started a thread called Immuran Side Effects. I don't know if it will help you or not, but I have put the link to it here for you (if it works).
I hope Dennis does alright on it and stays in remission.

No, it isn't. I am at 175 mg now but was worked up to 150 for my starting dosage when I began taking azathioprine (generic Imuran) and that sounds pretty typical dosage for most of us. They do need to monitor liver function and a few other things just like with all meds to be sure the body is tolerating the med well.
