Default Cellcept side effects
Is it true that some of the possible side effects of cellcept are swelling of the legs/feet with a rash and itching? I have been taking cellcept for about 7 months and recently upped my dosage to 2000 mg/day. I have had those symptoms for some time and they have now gotten worse. My docs (neuro, gp, derm) are trying to determine the cause.

I've been on cellcept for quite a while now, and havn't had any of these symptoms.
Mine have all been feeling nauseous running to the loo.

Glad to hear you haven't had those problems I listed. I did read that they were possible, though, so my docs are looking into it.

I am a few months late replying to this post I started CellCept in July 2009. I get rashes on my fingers, they look like little burns. They are random spots. I get 5 or 6 at a time. They come and go. Also when it gets real hot my calves get rashy and red lacy looking. I never had these symptoms pre CellCept. I did read in the fineprint of CellCept symptoms that you can get a type of eczema.
