User Reviews for Sulfazine EC oral

Major depression/slow mental function/insomnia after one week of use at 500mg a day. Would rather be in pain than depressed and unable to function at all. Have been on effective anti depresant medication for 8 years and this drug has somehow upset the equilibrium. Have now stopped this and will review what to do when I next catch up with my Rhuematologist. Am starting to run out of options now as all anti inflamms give me Gerd. Tramadol continues to be the only effective medication with no side effects plus 10mg weekly of methotrexate. I have symptoms of Ankolysing Spondylitis with no fusion, just chronic pain in varying degrees. Read More Read Less

I currently take 2000 mg of Sulfazine EC. 12 yrs ago I was taking 3000 mg a day. I have lived with UC for almost 25 yrs now. This medication has worked well for me.

pms - sulfasalazine ec 500mg a day is working for me.

made me terribly ill, headache,nausea,dizzy,fever and chills, I've had issues with a sulfa drug in the past and if you have experienced bad reactions to Sulfa drugs I suggest not using this. I felt wonderful when I stopped taking it, I took it for 5 days sick entire time after 24 hours without it I felt fine. Will find alternative medicine

I had an extreme case of ulcerative colitis 25 years ago. I took Predizone for 6 months and then 8 tablets per day of Sulfazine EC which was tapered off over the years to two 500mg tablets per day which I continue as a maintenance dose. I feel blessed that my colon has bee completely normal for the last 24 years and that I have never had a flare up. The side effects have been minimal, a few skin blotches from too much sun but really not an issue. Also, I have a colonoscopy every 2-3 years and they have all been fine. Read More Read Less

Like a miracle drug for me after a couple of months. I am having some breaking out on my face but I am not sure it is the med yet (Im afraid it is though and that would be a crying shame after all the years of pain).

I took this for three months and noticed improvement with joint pain but boy did it affect my mood. I will feel good an take it and within the hour, a funk came over me. I had some stressful things like a military move and leaving a job I liked, so I thought I was being witchy over that, but I forgot to take my pills a couple a times (had trouble remembering to take them with food) and I realized those days I was more optimistic about changes and less irritable. When I took again, funk came over. It got to where my family was wondering what was wrong with me and me too. The more I took it, the worse the mood swing became. I literally could feel the change and the irritability and restlessness take over. Not a good feeling.its sad because it helps with joint pain but not worth losing loved ones cause I'm cranky.Read More Read Less

Have been on this drug for almost 4 months now. Noticed huge change in between 2-3 months. Stiffness, swelling & pain have decreased to a very tolerable level.

i"ve only been on this med for a week. so it is really too soon tto tell if its goig to work well for me.

After only about 2 weeks on this med the ringing in my ears became unbearable. This is a shame because this has been the best med for my rheumatoid arthritis. It never bothered my stomach but I am taking meds for GIRD already.

I found this medicine to be an excellent treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. When first diagnosed, I was prescribed methotrexate pills, I then went on to methotrexate injections. It caused me to be continually nauseous with an upset stomach, heartburn, and always tired. I then was prescribed sulfasalzine with the same results. My internalist changed my prescription to Sulfasaline EC, which is coated and dissolves in the lower portion of the stomach rather than in the upper portion. The heartburn went away almost immediately, I am less tired and am no longer nauseous. Read More Read Less

After trying several different (and more expensive) drugs for over a year, Sulfazine is the only one to give me relief from incapacitating cramping and diarrhea. I have not noticed any side effects.

I was only takeing it for 2 weeks before the headaches became unbearable with definate mental/mood changes. I was depressed and crying after a week and a half before I quit taking. The next day after missing 2 doses the headaches were better!
