I don’t know where these messages have been but they just

appeared to me on 8/2/2010. 

Nausea is a fairly common side effect of Methotrexate so usually

Folic Acid is prescribed along with it.  I take 10 mg Methotrexate weekly along

with  1 mg of Folic Acid daily.  Folic Acid usually comes in 300 mcg or 600 mcg

pills OTC or 1 mg (1,000 mcg) pills by prescription.  If you are seeing a

rheumatologist I am surprised you have not been told about this.  I hope you

get effective treatment.  God bless.
