I have been taking 250 mg of cellcept, three pills a day, for a total of 750 mg daily. I have had no side effects at all and have been doing a lot better. Wednesday, my doctor increased my dosage by one more pill. I now take 500 mg twice a day.
I don't know if it is just a bad day or if it could be the medicine, but I feel tired, weak, achy, and generally crappy. My eyelids are more droopy than normal. Has anybody had any bad experiences with cellcept? Up until now, I have been feeling good with it. I am hoping that it is just a down phase and not really the drug.

Your weakness could be "just" a normal MG thing, but CellCept can have some side effects. When was the last time your blood pressure and blood levels (liver, kidney, etc) were checked? The glucose levels too. My CellCept side effects: higher glucose, higher cholesterol levels. Whenever my diabetes is unstable, I have more MG weakness. When did you started the 1000 mg a day? |

I just went to the 1000 mg two days ago. They check my blood and stuff pretty often; every two months or so.
My cholesterol was up last time. I wonder if that is why.
