I started 4g of Pentasa 2g twice daily since my flare last weekend, and ive been noticing that im extremely tired all the time... its also allergy season but ive never been hit this hard this air head lethargic feeling before. Just wondering if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this? will it last for as long as i take these meds?

I don't think it's the Pentasa.

Are you anemic?

no, shouldn't be the Pentasa. I agree to have your iron levels checked as well as vitamin b12 and D.

How are you eating, and are you drinking enough fluids?

What other meds are you taking as well?

It's difficult to deal with a flare and change in seasons that can affect our stamina and how we're feeling.
