Hey Orpheus!!
I was on cytoxan for 16 months. I tolerated it pretty well and got close to remission. But, cytoxan is a pretty rough drug. My wegs doc took me off it and put me on methotrexate. I went about 15 months before I got my first rituximab. I was on methotrexate for about three years. Summer 2015, the side effect of fatigue for a couple of days after my weekly dose got to be more than I wanted to deal with. In August 2015, I discontinued methotrexate and had four doses of rituximab. I've been fine since. Just jumping through the hoops to get another single dose of rituximab now.
Here's hoping you get what you need from your meds.
