All I can do is speak from experience. I was put on Imuran and within one week had to be taken off because of side effects. I had all the symptoms of the flu. I called the doctor and he said to stop it ASAP. In two weeks he started me on CellCept (the generic - lots cheaper) and the only side effects I have had are: weight gain, swelling of the legs, hands and fingers and some headaches. I have had weakness and heaviness in my legs to the point where I am not sure they can hold me up. That is an awful feeling. I don't know if it is the extra weight, the CellCept, or a combo of the two. I also have foot pain in one foot and guess I can attribute that to the Prednisone I am trying to get off of. I was on 60 mg daily for 4 months and am now down to 10 mg daily. That has been over a 15 month period. Next week I am to cut my CellCept in half to see if the leg problems go away. Let me know what you decide to do. Take care. Kathie Glenn
