I Want to Stop Methotrexate

[Forest Walker]

It's not unusual FW, methotrexate can work but not for long and 9/10 will feel nausea from it. I found it also made me feel like a zombie all the time, as for the injections for me it was just as bad as the tablets and I even found it gave me mood swings but that could of been down to me hating the stuff.

Stelara would be your best way to go [post=168] and you can have a drink whilst using it.

At the end of the day it's your body and you have to decide, but in my opinion methotrexate should not be used today for psoriasis.

As for stopping it, I think you can just stop using it but I would discuss that with your doctor.

*I'll move this to [forum=10]

I had been hopeful, especially since a long-time friend from Oregon has a husband with adult-onset rheumatoid arthritis.  MTX helped him tremendously, and he had no negative effects.  He must be the one of ten who doesn't.  

If I can just stop using it, then last Thursday's dosage will be the last.  I see the dermatologist tomorrow morning and will find out.  

Even if the injectable form alleviated the nausea, the headaches will likely persist.  It's so terribly uncomfortable to try to work and teach skating while having these headaches and nausea.
