Yea methotrexate (mtx) is hard on the liver. I kept trying to reduce mine enough to get my liver enzymes in check but had to stop pills and went to injectable form - but finally had to give up the drug altogether to protect my liver. ALT and AST were just too high. I was taking it as an adjunct to Enbrel so I just did without.

If you can’t tolerate the full
Dose of mtx in pill form, ask if you can switch to injectable. That helped me with the nausea.

I think most Rheumy(s) opinion regarding folic acid and mtx on same day is they don’t really care. Some have the opinion that folic reduces effectiveness of mtx. But mine said it doesn’t matter.
