I haven't ever been on it, but be careful. I experienced what I described as a metal taste in my mouth after taking ibuprophen ALOT for horrific cramps-later to find out I had endometriosis which is why I had to have a hysterectomy later. But then I was on a blind study drug for ra later, which was either Vioxx or Naproxen (which is in the family of ibf) & that metal taste came back. Then I started having bloody tarry stools, so I got to the doc fast. He did a scope down to my stomach & sure enough, I had 2 bleeding ulcers! Turns out after they lifted the 'blind' part of that study, I was on that naproxen, so I cannot ever take that family of meds....

I always did when I was on it. Dentyne gum helped, Sucking on candies, and a can of coke all seems to work for me when I get meds I can taste. I also drink a lot of juices.

I'm getting my first dose on the 3rd! Hopefully it will help with some of my symptoms. I've been on Humira & Enbrel with little relief. I take methotrexate & plaquenil too. Thanks for the information!
