I have been on cellcept for lupus nephritis. Start with "Welcome! Took 2-3 weeks to get up to full dose of 2 pills twice a day.


I will be on the treatment a minimum of 18 month. There are many clotting disorders, so I'm thinking that is why they don't have sero-negative APS...as the labs are the only way to really confirm APS vs other clotting disorders.52 yr old SjS, APS w/strokes, Autonomic Neuropathy, PN, Nephrogenic DI, (CVID) IgG def., Cushing's, Asthma, Gastroparesis. I'm currently on: Cymbalta 30mg 1 in the a.m. and 2 at night Topamax 25mg 2xs daily Lunesta 2mg at bedtime CellCept 1000mg 2xs daily I've become acustome to the side affects of all the other meds, since I've been on them for 2 yrs now. I can't imagine how they would tell if someone had sero-negative APS...unless they have repeated thrombotic events (strokes, TIA's, DVT's, PE's, etc)...and they would have to be confirmed, of course. It's an expensive medicine but it works really well.

I think less is more in my particular case when it comes to medications for lupus, and that I'm one of the ones who is lucky enough to be able to safely tough it out for now.I have been on Cellcept since last year, but I started on 1000 mg/day with 40 mg Predinisone.

Then tried IV Cytoxan with lasix to flush out the bladder. Otherwise it's just Plaquenil, Gabapentin/Pregabalin or nothing. My serum total protein is usually elevated and so is my Packed Cell Volume. I was prescribed Cellcept and still on it. Hashimoto's, seronegative RA, Primary Sjogren's, small fibre nld polyneuropathy, hypertension, IBS-C, GORD, BMS, highly allergic disposition!I didn't know APS was a consideration for you. Cerner Multum™ provides the data within some of the Basics, Side Effects, Interactions, and Dosage tabs. I started to show improvements with my kidneys. 5 Stars. joints. I've been taking Cellcept 2000mg a day since then.

I was on Rituxan by that time. One of the antibiotics, isoniazid, is known to sometimes affect the liver. That is the best I can offer you. You have to take care of your body when you are on this drug. Continue to have blood and protein in urine. Cellcept is a miracle drug for me. I developed CLASS 4 Lupus Nephritis - the worst and most feared kind of kidney disease associated with SLE. I take prednisone and plaquenil daily also. Hashimoto's, seronegative RA, Primary Sjogren's, small fibre nld polyneuropathy, hypertension, IBS-C, GORD, BMS, highly allergic disposition!Many of us, including myself, are seronegative. I still have daily battles with pain but it's not as bad as when I first spiraled out of control. Hashimoto's, seronegative RA, Primary Sjogren's, small fibre nld polyneuropathy, hypertension, IBS-C, GORD, BMS, highly allergic disposition!Sorry to hear the change in heart from the doctor. I take both plaquenil and cellcept.

My monitoring bloods are fine so far apparently and I'm tolerating the increased dosage fine so far too so I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about the Cellcept now. Orginally was taking azothoprine and then was placed on cytoxan orally. I could do more, remember more and (I know this sounds funny) do two or more things at once. My doctor said that this is not typical side effect of cellcept. In June I was up to 3000 mg without any problems, but no results by August, either. My dose was gradually tapered up to 1000 mg twice per day and I am off of steriods all together! However the only medications I was taking when these bloods were taken were a low dose of Losartan for hypertension and Levothyroxine. I notice a difference in the joint pain if I haven't taken my dose yet. I am wondering if any of these are likely to be associated with Sjogrens?
