Anyone Taking Methotrexate With Good Or Bad Results?

Also I take prednisone 5mg in a flare up & hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day. Does anyone take all these meds or some? What can you share with me.

I was on methotrexate years ago for 6 weeks, lost hair off body especially head, lots of hives. 😩

I take the hydroxychloroquine too. I've been on it for years. I also am on Celebrex for neuropathy pain as well as meds for hypothyroidism and DM
It is a lot sometimes. All in all about 10 pills a day not including PRNs

I took methotrexate for a year. The dr finally had me go off of it to see if it was helping. No difference!

I also take folic acid 5mg 6 times a week along with the methotrexate.
