Mtx in any dose can make you tired, I found it got worse as the dose got higher. Also though, having compromised skin is tiring for your body too, I find with a flare up if it gets past a certain coverage it feels a bit like having the flu. Hopefully you will get some results with the mtx and your dose can be reduced to a maintenance dose which you might find more able to tolerate.
If it were me (here in UK) I would go back to my derm and say I can’t tolerate the drug and it’s interfering with being able to go to work, and hopefully move on to the next level of treatment.
If it was starting to work and then stopped, perhaps you are already becoming resistant. It only worked for me for about a year, then it just stopped working even though the derm increased the dose.
