What does folic acid do for you? It was prescribed for me and I didn’t notice any improvement. I quit taking it and didn’t notice anything different. Thanks.

I am not a medical doctor, but I was prescribed folic acid along with methotrexate. Folic acid is one of the B vitamins and is absolutely required by your body. One of the many side effects of methotrexate is that it removes? deactivates? Vitamin B9. You won't notice an improvement in PMR symptoms from taking folic acid, but the quite bad result of not having it could be serious. Talk to your physician about this.
