Arava and Tylenol

[Pacetiger]

I have just started taking Arava. I have to use a lot of tylenol for at least 2 days per month. Anyone use tylenol with arava? I know they are both taxing on the liver. Thanks.

have been on arava for 11 months, am losing my hair, feel breathless, have put on weight, am slightly depressed most of the time. Have decided to go off it and seek other treatments, anyone know how long it takes for arava to leave your system? I have heard tht it can be flushed out over a number of weeks?

Pacetiger, I have used paracetamol which I think is equivalent to Tylenol and it tends to make my liver very sore and give me nausea

I guess this is not a very popular notice board just noticed the date of pacetigers entry, feel like a dill now! talking to myself, not necessarily a side effect of arava, but then......

Received a script for Arava today and trying to make up my mind wether to go ahead and try it. On Methotrexate at the moment and feel OK. It's a hugh decision to make. Hair loss is a factor and Diarrhea!!! How are you going on Arava now.
