So sorry you are having so much trouble with methroxate. I have been taking it for about 7 months. Side effects for me just ladtbon the day I take it. Mayo has me take 6 pills once a week. On the day I take it, I am very tired and somewhat nauseated. Usually, I take it easy that day and by the next day, I am fine. Perhaps you need a dosage adjustment or some other adjustment. I am no doctor and because I take the drug for a non-painful condition the only way I know it helps is from PET scans and/or CT scans. Good luck to you. Have a conversation with your doctor about your difficulties.

I love the Mayo Clinic. I have been to the one in Jacksonville several times. I also have Osteogenisis Inferfecta. This is a genetic disorder that causes low burn density, blue sclera, and petite stature. On July 7, 2011 I had a dissection of my carotid artery. We were in Florida. The best end of vascular near a radiologist who is also double boarded in neurosurgery took care of me. I had an adverse reaction to TpA, the a stroke. I spent three months in Florida. I had a craniotomy. I lost the ability to speak the English language. I had to go to Speech Therapy every day for six months. Dr. Bellew told me that I couldn’t go back to work for two years. I’m that type a personality, I went back after nine months. After a year of working, I realized it was too much. My rheumatologist told me it was time to stop. This is perhaps one of the worst days of my life. However, when I look back, I know it was the greatest decision.
