I posted before asking about the lowest dose so that the body doesn't formantibodies. It's not the case here. I have been on a dose of 175 mg for 4 years now. It's true that it hasn't put my symptoms under control but at least my WBCs are now within normal range.
I have a problem with the excipients of azathioprine and I can't take it. A friend of mine got me the same Imuran I used to take but with a different packaging though it's the same manufacturer. I don't know whether the problem is with my body or what but I feel now that the 175 mg dose is too much for me. I feel drained and dizzy. The antibiotic I had to take for the dermatological problem in armpits caused me draining watery diarrhea. Today, I had the worst excruciating pain in my TI since years. I had to take 2 more tablets to finish the course but I couldn't. I'm writing my thesis and this makes me very exhausted and sleep deprived. This all definitely had its toll on my health.
Can I just lower Imuran to 150 mg instead of 175 mg or would there be a problem?
