Methotrexate to wean off long term Prednisone for PMR

I have been on Methotrexate since November with no change in my PMR and still not able to wean down below 8mg. Doc wanted to put me on a newly FDA approved drug that I think started with a T, but cannot remember for sure. I am trying hydroxychloroquine instead for now. Newly approved sounds really costly!

Hydroxychloroquine:
I was on it for over a year, it was expensive even with the insurance, .. and I got off of it because there was a warning of how it potentially affected vision ... And I perceived just on my own, that my vision was degrading a bit.
I didn't notice any difference without it.
