Do You Get Worse Acid Reflux On Sulfasalazine?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
The Woodlands, TX

I have GERD and my doctor added sulfasalazine to my methotrexate treatment a couple of weeks ago. I've noticed my acid reflux is worse lately. Have any of you have this experience with sulfasalazine? I assume it's that and not the methotrexate since I didn't notice a difference when I was just on that.

I also take omeprozol for indigestion that helps greatly

Sulphasalazine causes me to sweat uncontrollably and feel real nauseous within an hour of taking twice a day

I had taken Methrotrexate and ended with Gerds, Hyatal Hernia and acid reflux. My Dr. changed RA meds and put me on pantaprozaleand ratiniadied. The acid reflux has become worse to where the Dr said to double the dosage. With all of this , I now have IBS and the meds for that are not working. Where does it all end??

I was on methatrexate. I ended up with a reaction to it causing Gerds and acid reflex. And had been on Methatrexate for a while. I even got to the point where it caused confusion. I had to change my med but continue to have Gerds and acid reflux.
