Hi @raythebaker welcome thanks for joining

I see you are struggling with sulfasalazine.

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/drugs/sulfasalazine/

This is the link to sulfasalazine which does have links to side effects which I think you will find it helpful

Have you contacted your meds team to talk to them about this? You would normally have a number to contact a nurse directly?

Do come back and let us know how you get on. You may find it helpful to look at this link Living with arthritis — Versus Arthritis

Take care

Hello,

I had the same problem and was feeling dizzy and sometimes vomited, my doctor took me off straight way, I had to contacted my nurse from the hospital and he got back to me.

he had to put me on a stronger med, which is much better.
