How long on Methotrexate-poll

[Mountaingem]

I was just curious-for those of you on Methotrexate, how long have you been on it? What is your method of taking it? And what side effects?
Me: I've been on intramuscular injections for a year now.
Side effects: dizziness, nausea, aching muscles. Difficulty eating, acid reflux like a volcano in my gut:tongue:

Hi mountaingem, I've been taking oral methotrexate for 6 months now. I take the pills once a week - The worst side effects for me are the day of and the the day after the meds... Nausea and aches. I haven't noticed heartburn - I usually get that from high doses of prednisone.

Ive been on the oral tabs for about a year, have no side effects that I can tell, but I take a ondansertron (sp?) about 5-10 min before. Its supposed to help the nausia and general crappy feeling, and it doesa great job.
I remember the crappy feeling when I was taking it about 2 years ago, but I was injecting it subcutaneously.

I've been on methoxtrexate oral tabs for about 9months. No side effects, that I can tell.

I've been taking the shot once a week for about 8 weeks now. The next day I'm pretty much worthless. I sleep most of the day.

I WAS on Methotrexate for about 6 months 7 years ago, I got nauseated and headaches and I am not a headache person. The shot day was the worst about 8 hours later...

I have been doing injections for two weeks with no side effects. Beginning to wonder if I am injecting it right. Everyone seems to have side effects except for me. lol
