You only need the one for life.........some want you to have a booster after ten or more years. Debby. I can make a SUGGESTION as to what I feel would be a better choice for a different medication for AIH. It is simply CellCept. Many, many liver docs are now prescribing that. I have taken it for 2 1/2 years now since my TX. I have no ill side effects with it at all. I take 2 tablets twice a day.Why not talk to your doctor about giving it a try? It is listed as a medication for AIH. Addie.may I ask if you have AIH or PBC? It is very important that you have a doctor who specialized in liver disease and knows what he/she is doing. You should be on a diuretic! I had severe encephalophy before transplant and had to stop driving after I went off the road.... and we won't talk about the check book! One good thing on that is now my husband does all the bills1 ; - ) He asked if I wanted it back and I said no thank you. What meds do you take? Please fill us in better. Nada, In place of the Welbutrin ask about a new medication called Cymbalta.is liver friendly. I this month just switched from Lexapro to Cymbalta.and one of the nicest " side effects " is that I actually sleep much better..even though I take mine at 10:00 AM.! I used to wake up a lot and go right back to sleep usually but now I can sleep through the night except to get up to go to the bathroom. I also don't ache in the morning like I did before. How much URSO do you take? I take the URSO 250 as the Forte is way to expensive so I take 250 and just take 2 pills twice a day. Silly to have 4 pills cost less then 2 ! Sandy, Can you explain why you can't take URSO? I am cxurious.especially as it is the ONLY medication that really helps PBC. Shirlee, Medication doesn't cause Sjogren's it is just one more autoimmune diseases that tends to go with PBC. Sorry....I have it too as do MANY PBCers. I use Biotene mouth wash for dry mouth and natural tears drops for eyes. Jen, Welcome back! I hear a lot of good things about Loma Blessings all, Joanne C. Jj Cathcart jjcathcart@... Quote
