Methotrexate - Side Effects?

[Fred]

Update for today: the 3rd 6 pill dose. 


I have been so tired. I slept 8-9 hrs and still had a nap during my lunch break. Yesterday and today. 

Today I was nauseated off and on all day. I didn't eat anything outside the ordinary foods I eat.

I have no motivation to do my hobbies. I like to waterpaint, color, paint with diamonds, or play Xbox. And I just don't want to do it. I just want to sit in my recliner, completely covered with a comforter, and maybe play a game on my tablet or watch TV. Then I might fall asleep. 

Hello ST, When is your next appointment with your Derm?  I'd say something is not right and you should try and see them sooner rather than later. It also should be considered that there is more than one thing combining to cause the lethargy and nausea. Granted drugs affect everyone differently but when I was on MTX I experienced some nausea a few hours after the dose and little to no lethargy.  Could there be anything else that is contributing to these side effects?  I hope you can get to the bottom of this and are feeling 100% soon.

Yes I agree it could be worth trying your GP (Family doctor) to see if anything else is going on.
