Anyone having luck while taking methotrexate?

I have been on MTX for three weeks. I am also on hydroxychloroquine . One day a week I take 10 mg of MTX dividing the dose up. I also take the folic acid daily. I notice every doctor has their own plan. I believe in a way it’s kind of like hit or miss because there really is no magic magic plan each of us just hopes we start feeling better!!! With this MTX I get the feeling it works very slowly before you start feeling better. I’m trying to be as patient as I can after trying so many different medication’s. My very best wishes to you!!!

Hello @lindaadele I am now near the end of week 6 of MTX. 7th dose will be Sunday at supper.
My dizziness has definitely gotten worse, especially upon getting out of bed and most of the morning.
Had a telephone appt with Rheumatologist and she wants me to start tapering off prednisone (I am currently on 11 mg) 1 mg at a time every two weeks until 5 mg and then stay at that dosage until our next appointment end of July. I am also feeling kind of foggy in the head. A little spacey... for the most part I try to ignore all this and carry on as usual. If I get nervous I remind myself to just breathe ... it helps. How are you doing? Hope things are better for you.
