Comment:
I take 10 mg daily and it takes the swelling down the majority of the time. 20 mg per day made me somewhat sick but maybe I needed to build up to that. There is time for that I guess. It matters what brand you take Sandoz (sp?) for me. It did take a 4 months to reach potential.

Comment:
I was switched from Methotraxate to Leflunomide because my methotraxate could no longer be increased due to my high kidney levels.

Comment:
I developed nodules with methatrexate so doc put me on the Leflunomide. I had a rash in the beginning, but doc changed dose to every other day and it went away. In combination with Remicade infusions every 8 weeks it has made a big difference in my pain I have had stomach problems and some hair loss, but worth the benefits if caused by the leflunomide.

I took it for 18 days in addition to MTX, enbrel, celebrex. I developed stabbing pain in the rheumatoid nodules on the soles of my feet and the nodules seemed puffier and larger than before. I stopped taking the drug.
