    Hi - is sulpha the same as sulfasalazine? If so, I have just joined to ask the same question. Am on week 3 and horrible nausea and dizziness. Assuming it will go away, what are other people's experience - how long does it last?
    many thanks

    Hi Gemma,
    I'm on week 4/4 a day and had a rough couple of days at the start of the week with dizziness and feeling sick but pleased to say I'm feeling a lot better today (day 4). I did take a couple of days off work because I did nt want to risk driving and I would have been worse than useless at work.

    I don't know what to advise as we're all different but just wanted to let you know that it should pass.

    thanks from me too

    I still have waves, and have taken a few days off for similar reasons.

    Glad to know it will pass as really want this drug to work!
