Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Just wanted to let you know I take mtx by injection and my doc gave me an interesting tip. I have been experiencing headaches from it. And he said that I am metabolizing the drug improperly and the way to fix it, is to take Robutussin DM. He said the DM changes teh way the drug is metabolized. He said to take 1 tsp 6hrs before injection. 1 tsp at injection and 1 tsp 6 hours after injection (or for me thats teh next morning). Hope thats helpful to those of you who have side effects!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks Randi. After I read this, it came back to me that someone else told me to do this. And true to brain fog fashion, I forgot all about this. Thanks again for the reminder. , Oregon > > Just wanted to let you know I take mtx by injection and my doc gave me > an interesting tip.
