I was on it over a year ago, but I didn't take it long because of side effects.

My Mom was on it for almost 7 years. She tolerated it rather well until a year and a half ago when it did not work anymore so the dr put her on combination of Leflunomide and Sulfasalazine. It affected her digestion very bad. She lost a lot of weight. We’ve had an intense year to say the least. The dr suspect it was the side effects of Leflunomide rather than Sulfasalizine that affected the digestive system, or perhaps the combination. Either way watch out on any digestive side effects. Mom ifs off both meds and on Olumiant for 4 months now. She gained back some weight. Fingers crossed is the right treatment for you. Keep us posted. Hugs
