I'm headed that way, and was wondering if anyone has taking that much and how it affected them...Obviously, it's a weight based drug, but I haven't seen many people on that much?

I am at 200mg and the dr won't up the dosage. He said that is the max. Not that I want it upped, but with that and remicade, still not in remission.

are you trying things with food?

where does the water you drink come from.. bottled., tap...

For me, my dosage was never based on my weight. I metabolized Imuran fast. I started at 50mg and my peak dose was 150mg. Have you had a prometheus test? I was 95lbs at that dose.

Viviane,
If you are asking me, I have tried things with food - dairy, gluten, and sugar elimination, to name a few. None did anything. Certain foods create more gas, which is problematic so I tend to avoid those (broccoli, cabbage).

Water- combination. At home, I drink tap, but at work, bottled or bring some from home.

I have been on imuran for a little over a year now. My liver tests went up and down with it, ut then stabilized. Remicade.... I will have my 7th infusion this week.

I drink tap water and bottled water, haven't done anything differently with my diet and been on 150 Mgs for six months and 200 for five weeks now

I was on 250MG for several years with no problems. Imuran was the only thing that really helped my UC symptoms.
