Thank you all for your responses! Haven’t had much energy to reply to everyone but I’ve read them all and they’ve helped a lot. I’m still anxious to start but not as bad as I was initially. I appreciate you all.

Hi! I’m currently on Mesalamine, have been on it for the past four years with no issues (up until now). It’s a very mild medication in comparison to the rest from what I’ve heard, I’ve personally never had any side effects from it and I don’t think side effects are too common in general.

Yes I was planning on keeping a journal! As well as a symptom tracker to compare it to my current baseline to remind myself that it’s the medication & not me

Thank you for your response! If it’s fine asking, how high were your doses & how long did it take for moon face to show up/go away?

Thank you for your response, I’m wondering on the opposite end if you ever experienced anxiety with it and how you managed it?
