Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Hi Shirley I am on Methotrexate, the brand I take is Trexall and it is 25 mg in one pill that I take on Fridays. When my doctor first suggested it I did a search on the internet and got so scared, but you just have to keep in mind that the internet is full of horror stories. A good majority of the people on this list are on MTX, either pill form or injectable. and most are also on some sort of biologic drug. Be aware that your doctor may suggest one of those if the MTX doesn't completely help.... Hope this helps, it isn't as scary as it sounds, but I would take it before bed at least the first few times... Semalee [ ] pill MY DOCTOR TOLD ME MY ARTHRITIS WAS SO BAD SHE WAS GOING TO TRY ME ON A PILL ONCE A WEEK....I DO NOT REMEMBER THE NAME..IT STARTS WITH AN M. I DONT GET TO SEE HER TILL JAN 3.SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY ONE IS ON THAT KIND OF PILL.....HOW YOU ARE DOING AND IF IT HELPS THANKS SHIRLEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Could it be methotrexate???...Usually folks who take that drug take more than one, though??..I take that drug once a week, Sundays, 5 pills at a time. Feel blah the next two days.
