I have been on Sulfasalazine (generic for Azulfidine) for years off and on for Ulcerative Colitis, my disease is very mild but I noticed last year that I started to get headaches and now they have got worse. Does anyone else have headaches with this drug? I appreciate your answers.

The most common side effect is nausea but often this can be controlled by a reduction in dose. Sometimes other medications may be needed. Occasionally mouth ulcers, a sore mouth or loose bowel motions may occur. Certain patients may develop a headache or slight dizziness but adjusting the dosage may bring things under control.
Please see the webpages for more details on Sulfasalazine (generic name) Azulfidine (brand name)

I've been on this drug for two months; so far the only side effects are nausea and dizziness occasionally. No headaches. Best wishes to you.
