Not sure Acitretin is for me...

[D Foster]

What were the worst side effects when you were on mtx? The effects I'm having on acitretin are tolerable IF it works. I'd be interested to know How long have people had to wait before they've seen results.

When I was on MTX I had very little in the way of side effects when I first started with it and it worked though it never cleared it beyond 85% in all the nine plus years i was on . over the first six years the side effects got worse with stomach , nausea, sickness, tiredness problems. I took it on a Friday night and all the weekend I would be ill but when I started injections I was OK again but then after a couple of years it started again with all the same side effects but in the last year it got very bad indeed so I stopped using it. MTX is in its place not a bad treatment and can work very well it's been used for a long time and the side effects are well known.
