@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?

Thank you for your response. I am taken methotrexate by mouth. I’m taken 20mg. Rheumatologist. I started with 15mg but upped it to 5mg because my markers was still high. Any advice on ever getting off the meds. I’m also weaning off the prednisone that I was taken for
