I've only been on Azathioprine for a week (100mg a day) and I've been having really really bad nausea that I eventually end up doing sick and it's gotten to a point where I can barely eat and I'm doing sick like 5 times a day and throughout the day I feel nauseous and can't do my usual activities and so I'm not sure if it is the Azathioprine or something else because many people experience side effects a few weeks into the medication and so I was wondering if anybody has had this side effect early on in the course of Azathioprine?

Nausea first week of Azathioprine

Most likely the aza - it should pass but what dose are you on right now and when in the day are you taking it?
Ah right, it might be worth discussing with your GI about taking 50mg for a few weeks and then increasing to 100mg?
No problem, the general consensus is to take aza in the evening with/after food, take it at lower doses and build up slowly and be rest assured nausea is initially common but does usually pass after your body adjusts.
