Nicky, looks like this "might" be one of the side effects that you are supposed to report immediately to your doctor/pharmacist. Here is a link:

Were you guys tested for this enzyme before taking Imuran?

Jana's right, you need to let your doctor know right away that you are having such a bad headache.

Thanks, guys!

Hi Nick,

I was up to 150 mg as of Wednesday last week and had been at that level for 1 week after an escalating dose over 1 week. Last Wednesday my white blood cell count dropped to 2500 from 6000 prior to starting. I am now back down to 50 mg and have since been experiencing a headache everyday. Our symptoms sound quite similar and where we started Imuran at the same time it may be related to it... I too just put in a call to my neuro, we'll see...

Thanks all for your input during such a rollercoaster ride
