I have been taken methotrexate for almost 4 months since my diagnosis in January. Is it true that you won’t feel the effects of this meds until 4 months after taken it. I have had no side affects.

@leale You asked about the effects of taking methotrexate. This info is from Medlineplus which is under the National Institutes of Health
“you are taking methotrexate to treat rheumatoid arthritis, it may take 3 to 6 weeks for your symptoms to begin to improve, and 12 weeks or longer for you to feel the full benefit of methotrexate. Continue to take methotrexate even if you feel well. Do not stop taking methotrexate without talking to your doctor.”
Are you taking methotrexate by mouth or as an injection?
