I'm taking six per week and taking them on Thursdays. It's important to keep to the same day of the week.
A friend acquired Rheumatoid Arthritis as an adult and was fairly disabled from walking. The Methotrexate gave him his life back, and he is mobile, working his farm, very physical, again. He has had no bad side effects.
I'm finding a mild nausea and mild to moderate headache for a day or so after my Thursday doses, but it's not too terrible. I have not seen improvement in skin, yet, but it's been only two weeks.
See my post here RE: My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis, in contrast to Psoriatic Arthritis, MTX does work for Rheumatoid Arthritis. (Which is the implicit reason that over here al rheumatologists without thinking prescribe it for Psoriatic Arthritis, without realising that it is a different disease).
