So I have been taking 100mg of Imuran for about 1.5 weeks now. Today I could barely wake up - slept till almost noon which I never do... I feel very weak, tired, nauseated, and spacey. I took it easy most of the day but I did mow the grass which was a mistake. Now I keep burping and feeling like I am going to vomit... I dont have a sore throat or any other flu-like symptoms... Sound like Imuran side effects? Anyone else go through this?

Thanks

I can't relate to Imuran but I've been on 6MP for the past 2 weeks and this weekend was so hard for me to stay up!!! I have no energy, my body feels like it weighs 400 lbs and everytime I sit up or stand up I feel like I'm going to fall over. That god for walls in my house to hold me up or else I'd be in the hospital not for UC but for some other injury due to a fall from the diziness!

Good luck, I've heard goes away after 6-8 week mark...

Yes, could be side effects. I have been on 6MP for several weeks and had some of those symptoms for a while that got better. I take mine after dinner at night so most symptoms are during sleeping or early morning and get better as the day goes on. I increased twice to 75 mg. and went back to 50 mg. but this time the increase did not affect me. Good to let your doctor know what is going on however.
