Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 I currently take 15 mgs a week orally. If I switch to injections- would I still want to increase the dose? I am having zero arthritic relief at all. The psoriasis part went away- but it was so mild, it was not a problem, anyway, and it was confined to just my tummy and behind my ears on my scalp. What I want is for the pain to settle down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Dreamer, if you haven't had much relief at 15 mg orally, you may notice a bit of a difference at 15 mg by injection (less going down the toilet), but, since you haven't had trouble tolerating it (unless the depression was related), an increase is probably a good idea. Also, if you are larger than average, you probably should be trying more. Be sure to take your folic acid! I'll tell you where to go!
