Hope the new meds suit you! It sounds very much like the sort of regime I was on for years with good results. What else are you taking? Anything for the stomach or blood pressure?
My only comment would be that a drop from 20 mg to 10 in one step is too fast, or has that taken some time?
yes jack the drop from 20 to 10 was done over a few weeks.i'm on lisinopril for the blood pressure and omeprazole for the stomach.

Hey John
I started Cellcept today! I'm on 1500mg a day and 10mg pred - wonder why we have such a difference in dosage?
Not sure I'm too much of a fan at the moment, I've had a headache all day and an upset stomach. I'm sure this will calm down in a few days though, fingers crossed.
hi luce.they tried me on cellcept in 2007 on 2000 a day but i ended up with pneumonia because of it.then the cancer came along and everything else went out the window.so i think this time she's taking a more gradual approach.even so i'm itching like a mad thing tonight,hope that passes quickly.

Itching?
Are you sure this is not an allergic reaction?
it's in the long list of possible side effects.don't remember having it last time but hopefully it will pass.

Well I am a month on CellCept 6xdaily 500mg each pill...so far so good...no stomach issue
I hope that good things come of cellcept for you all. Just wondering why cellcept and not metho or imuran? or didn't they work and this is next step.

I think Cellcept is supposed to be the least toxic and have the least side effects.
