| Add Cellcept review Just started on Cell Cept for MS, so I can't review it yet. I read the reviews and there is only one for MS. Just wondering if anyone on this drug for MS has the same side effects. I'm a little nervous about taking this. I use 1000 mg twice daily along with an IVIG every 2 weeks for MG. I have been on it for about 7 years. I tried to get off it and after a couple of months I hit bottom again and it took 6 months to stabilize me. I tried mestinon when I was first diagnosed and it was horrible, I spent most of my time in the bathroom and I had to becareful not to miss a dose. I have missed a dose of the cell cept and I am okay. | Add Prograf review My experience has been great except for serious shaking or trembling of my hands and now my arms at night. I hear this goes away in time but I'm 18 months in and getting worse. Any help out there? I am dissatisfied with the severe effects of this drug. I have severe nerve and muscle pain. I will be an invalid soon. It is hard to accept the fact that this drug is used to give me life yet the life I am living is not worth living, not with constant and excruciating pain. | |||
