Tell me about your experience with Methotrexate. My doctor just prescribed it yesterday. How long have you been on it? What dosage, etc. Did it help you taper off prednisone?

I’ve been on it for three weeks now 15 mg every Monday I take six tablets. I also take folic acid during the week when I started. I was at 10 mg of prednisone and I’ve dropped down to 7.5. I have a little bit of stiffness in my neck, sometimes sore nothing like when I was first diagnosed. I have noticed that my rib cage is really tender. I have one more dose of MTX before I see my doctor and see what the results are with some bloodwork, I’ll keep you posted.

I take it every Monday 12mg
I’m kinda stiff an sore that day. But it soon settles down
I’m not sure how quickly it works. My dr only gave me a 4 week supply to see my reaction
