Azathiopribe was easy to get used to. I took it for over 18 months. Its the Mycophenalate thats the issue.

I am currently on Azathioprine and have had very little problems with it, The first 2 weeks were yicky but then nothing. I would think if you are having problems after a week or two I would talk with my rheumy and get some help/
