I started Cellcept about a month ago due to chronic hives. I have not had a flare up after day number 3. It has also helped my breathing which I also take xolair treatments for severe allergic reaction asthma. I am at 1500 mg.

I'm 18 and I have anterior uveitis combined with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I use this medication as a replacement for weekly methotrexate injections (methotrexate made me very very sick and stunted my growth. I most definitely don't recommend it). I take one full dose (1500mg suspension) every morning about 15 minutes before breakfast and it works wonders. Some of the side effects they don't list on here are increased vaginal discharge (a total bitch) and trouble sleeping when taken after about 5pm. This medicine definitely causes fatigue and sluggishness, along with heightened anxiety, especially in people who already suffer from agoraphobia and panic attacks (me). It also masks fevers and many other symptoms of third party illnesses. Overall, I think this medicine does the job for which it's intended, but you can't expect there to be no side effects for a drug as powerful as this one.

I take 1750 mg of cellcept per day for an autoimmune disease called dermatomyositis. When my doctor and I were looking for solutions to managing this illness, we went through many other drugs before we got to cellcept.

I take 1750 mg of cellcept per day for an autoimmune disease called dermatomyositis. When my doctor and I were looking for solutions to managing this illness, we went through many other drugs before we got to cellcept. After having violent nausea from the other drugs, I was so grateful to find cellcept- especially after my doctor mentioned it was my last hope! I have been on it for 2 years now and am happy to report that for the most part, the disease is managed (I have to also take Amlodapine and prednisone, but they are pretty low doses). I found that I am able to take cellcept only once a day, at night (versus the recommended 2x day), with my doc's permission and because my bloodwork is ok with that setup. Otherwise, I became too fatigued taking it during the day. I do, like others here, experience thinning hair. I find that I prefer the name brand to the generic, and this might relate to dietary sensitives I have. One of the generics makes me really fatigued, but when I went back to the name brand and another generic, I was ok. I don't really know what to expect long term at at age 39, I hope not to be on it forever. Still, I'm extremely grateful for this drug- it's helped me conquer a pretty terrible disease!

I am taking this for a kidney disease. Only 60% of my kidneys are working and my doctor is using this to stop the disease. It is working well so far and the only side effect I am having is I am cold all the time. Praise God for my insurance, I am only having to pay $10. for my prescription. I am currently taking 2000 MG a day.
