Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hi Tawny: That seems a bit extreme to take you off of all meds without giving you something to help you through too, in case of a flare (which, if I stopped all medication, I sure would be getting). I know my doctor wanted to try and get me off my Mtx (I was on 20 mg. weekly) or at least lowered since the Enbrel was doing well, and I flared up at 10 mg. so she kept it there. She did not stop everything else, though! I am now back up to 15 mg. a week because of increased pain. Hope that he is at least available if you do have problems, and is willing to work with you.
