Methotrexate experience

[mataribot]

What dose are you on Martin.... it's strange that you are not getting on well with methotrexate .... and you stopped Fumaderm for reasons best known to your dermatologist ...

I hope  the cold clears soon and that you get some clearance soon ....

im on 10mg every week jim,

It took 25mg a week to get me clear. But then I couldn't hack the side effects ..... good luck

i dont think i could take 25mg i feel crap on 10mg

I once asked a dermatologist why they still used MTX for Psoriasis. Well she said because it worked so well. But i said, it is a chemotherapy normally used for cancer.
Yes, she said, that is true but the dose we use for Psoriasis is much much lower... therefore we can use it easily,

But now I did some reseach on the doses of MTX in use with several types of cancer, and what do I find .... exactly the same doses...... 10-30 mg daily.

These things do not enhance my confidence in dermatologists or other medics.  

You shouldn't take MTX daily- risk of liver damage is huge. The max dose of MTX for p is 30 taken once per week. However, most generics have 25% more active ingredient so 25 should be max dose
