Side Effects for Azulfidine (sulfasalazine)
AZULFIDINE (SULFASALAZINE): Sulfasalazine is used to treat a certain type of bowel disease called ulcerative colitis. This medication does not cure this condition, but it helps decrease symptoms such as fever, stomach pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. After an attack is treated, sulfasalazine is also used to increase the amount of time between attacks. This medication works by reducing irritation and swelling in the large intestines. In addition, delayed-release tablets of sulfasalazine are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Sulfasalazine helps to reduce joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with sulfasalazine helps to reduce/prevent further joint damage so you can do more of your normal daily activities. This medication is used with other drugs, rest, and physical therapy in patients who have not responded to other medications (salicylates, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-NSAIDs).

None. This is a great product.
I get headaches that last for weeks, and the first couple times I was given Toradol I thought it was amazing...no side effects and no headaches. The last 4-5 times I have gotten the shots it hasn't worked though.
Worked great for the acid reflux, but not worth the side effects. Stopped taking the drug for 3 days now and still experiencing extreme itching and soreness of muscles.
major depression and gen. anxiety
skin irritation (itching of the limbs)
Something similar to restless leg syndrome, fidgeting
Please take provera off the market.
This is my eleventh day. The first week was fine, I actually liked cleaning, had more focus in school, I used to doze off in class, but never imagine doing that now. The first week I had trouble sleeping and had racing thoughts while lying in bed. Trazodone got rid of this completely. I highly reccommend it. When I started the second week, I had really frequent headaches and my eyes hurt. Two days ago (about the 9th day) I couldn't stop crying, and that weekend I slept all day and did not feel like going out or studying. Before the meds I freaked out if the apartment was dirty, and now I don't care at all. When I first started the pills I cleaned a lot, but now after 11 days I don't do anything productive. I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster, and I don't know what to believe anymore. Do I have insomnia or do I sleep too much? It it constatly changing everyday. Why do I not feel like doing anything some days and then wanting to do it all on other days? I guess I just have to
