I am on leflunomide plus hcq (plaquenil). Been on both since January and still waiting for it to work. I feel as though my side effects haven't been terrible. But the fact that my hands still hurt quite a bit not sure it is really helping the way it should be. Hope your experience is a better one.

I was on Leflunomide for 18 weeks and although I didn’t have many side affects, I believe it attributed to my getting neuropathy. It is a drug that can affect the nerves so just be vigilant on how you are feeling. I have since stopped taking it and did a washout with Cholestyramine to remove it from my system.

Same! On both. Changed my diet(somewhat) and exercise at least 1 hr or more a day.
