The drug sent my body into a lupus flare up. I was in bed with fever & constant body aches until I stopped taking the drug. Published: November 16, 2007 ::

After the first day I developed an allergic reaction, I stopped taking it for one day-long enough for the rash to disappear. After I continued taking the pills and all symptoms cleared up. However it has only been two weeks. Hopefully it will last. Published: October 19, 2007 ::

Comment from: Robinann, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I've been on Dapsone since Nov. 2008 for the treatment of Granuloma. Around 3 weeks ago, I've gotten this really metallic taste in my mouth. In a way if feels like I have a coating in the mouth but then I get really dry mouth. Water tastes terrible. I'm hoping it's from the drug. I've been taking 3 pills a day and am dropping to two pills a day in a week. The Granuloma has almost disappeared and I've seen no new red patches developing. Published: January 09, 2009 ::

Comment from: rx101534, 65-74 Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

I have taken this drug for 5 years. It helped alot for the first1-3 years but now I am in a "holding pattern"; not getting worse or improving. I have blisters in my nose that impairs my breathing, scarred tissue in 1 eye, & redness in my mouth. Published: July 25, 2009 ::

Comment from: Juneb, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 10+ years (Patient)

I have been taking this medication 100mg twice daily as needed for the last 20 years for dermetitis herpetiformis. I think the medication works well to alleviate the pain and appearance of blisters that come from this disease. I find it to be 97% effective in treating this disease. Only downfalls are extremem headaches and I have been hospitalized for methemoglobanemia a few times. (Where the oxygen is depleted from your blood and your skin takes on a bluish hue). Thats no fun. All & all a good product. Published: April 29, 2009 ::
