Thanks Sierra

for your reply, I am currently only taking 5mg once a week the day before the

mtx I will see what the GP says about that next Friday have to go back and get

the blood test results....but do you think I should drop the mtx back to 10mg

without the Rheumy knowing??? I cant see her till end of Feb

I had a lot of fatigue on MTX until I increased my folic acid from 1

mg to 2 mg. My rheumy said that some of her patients take 4-5 mg. a

day.

which was doubled from 10mg in late Nov) or Endep 10mg(which I

started in Late Nov) was to blame he said that their was no way it

was the Endep that if gave relieve at night and did not carry on to

the day leaving you feel tired so he felt it was the mtx but didn't

want to change the dose until I saw the Rheumy in late Feb..

after nearly passing out on my hubby last night just going from

lounge to bedroom I am that exhausted top it off it was my sons

birthday and I was not well all day!!!

> This GP said that it could most definately be the Endep, ordered

another lot of bloods and said to reduce the Mtx back to 10mg, when

asked if I could get anything for the pain ( which is all over so

dont know if its the Fibro or the RA)

> she said no that I was on enough meds....hmm.

> Just would like to know if anyone else has had Endep??? and if so

did you have any side effects I just don't know which way to go

now...reduce the mtx or not???? I'm so new to this Fibro thing also

so if anyone has any experiences to share please do.
