When did you start feeling better on Methotrexate?

I started Methotrexate about 6 weeks ago... and am only feeling marginally better. My dr started me on injections today so I'm hoping that helps. I'm wondering how long to stay on it until i try something new. How long did it take you to feel better?
 
never. all it did for me was get me sick for up to 2 days after the injection. my doc kept me on tho. i eventually quit on my own and got better!

the sight and thought of anything resembling the medicine makes me feel a little sick. its weird but others experience it too. i hate methotrexate.

Hi Arin, welcome if I havent welcomed you, been offline for a spell. I was on methotrexate but it is supposed to take 16 weeks for some relief, I never got that far went to 14 weeks and I was just too ill from taking it. Hope you are taking Folic acid 1mg, it helps eleviate the nausea. Also have your blood checked once a month. Good luck with it.
