Hi, I was on it for a bit over a year I think - it worked well up to the end then just stopped working. I agree you must take as much folic acid as you are told to - however I figured out it was the folic acid making me a bit queasy (shortly after taking it), so I dropped it to a still reasonable level.
I was lucky, I didn't really get any nausea or stomach probs from methotrexate.
I agree with the others, the higher the dose the more you feel tired so it's best to find the lowest level it works at.
Good luck with it - you hear a lot of worrying things but we're all different, you just have to try things I guess, they won't make you stick with it if the side effects are too bad.
