Starting MTX

[pingu]

Hi annieg

I started as follows

Week 1 5mg
Week 2 10mg
Week 3 - 6 15mg
Week 7 onwards 20mg

I noticed a slowdown and less scaling quite quickly but only staretd to see real clearing around week 5 to the point I was asking if I just kept a maintenance dose around 15mg it would clear eventually. 

Now I am on 20mg its all pretty good.

So yes at 9mg you are on a lower dose than me, not sure how they are increasing your dosage etc but my consultant did mention at the start that they would expect good results around 20-25mg and the slow start was simply to make sure I had no dramatic side effects.

Let us know if they plan to increase your dosage.
