Has anyone experienced dizziness with medication for PMR?
I have been taking low-dose methotrexate tablets for three months and I am experiencing dizziness. My rheumatologist had me stop the methotrexate. Has anyone experienced dizziness from any of medication’s that they are taking for the PMR?

There must be a funny reply to this somewhere! But I know what you mean, I get dizzy often. Not sure if it's steroid or not drinking enough water or what. Dr. told me to squeeze my butt and thigh leg muscles 3 times before I stand up to get the blood flowing.
Thank you for posting about dizziness. I have been experiencing the same thing. Sometimes I walk like a drunk, and have to pay close attention to how I’m walking. I do have a history of vertigo, but this dizziness seems different. I have tapered down from 15 mg prednisone twice. At 11 mg now, but last time I got down to 9 mg, all symptoms came back. Frustrating to say the least!
This dizziness is definitely very very frustrating because there’s no easy answer as each person is so so different and we act so differently to each medication!!! I am an example of someone who reacts badly to every single medication that I have taken so far for PMR dizziness was the worst and ended me in the ER! most people that take these medication‘s do not have any side effects it is kind of like hit or miss when you go to the rheumatologist. my very very best wishes to you!!!
