I have always had an easy time falling asleep at night, but since taking this - It takes a while to fall asleep. My vision also seems to be changing since starting treatment. I am forever grateful for the medication so I didn't have to do IV infusions of Cytoxan anymore. This medication although obnoxious, saved my life.

While this medication makes my kidneys happy, it makes me feel like crap. Within 4 days of taking it, I am completely drained, I have NO energy, I get low-grade fevers, and suffer from muscle weakness. I don't normally get side effects, so this medication is especially frustrating. The side effects don't go away either, they just get worse until I stop taking the meds.
