Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi , MTX even in low doses is no joke. I needed 2 blood transfusions because my hemoglobin count got dangerously low. Not to scare you, but even in low doses these meds can get dangerous. Feel better. Jen From: madhattercharliechurch <madhattercharliechurch@...> Subject: [ ] Methotrexate Date: Friday, November 21, 2008, 12:14 PM Hi everyone. I had a phone call from my doctor this morning instructing me to stop taking my prescribed methotrexate. I started off 6 weeks ago on 5mg then increased to 7.5. My blood tests have shown high levels of AST. I had been feeling very unwell, sick and tired, but had thought it was just a side effect. I have to go and see my doctor on Thursday when they will take more blood. When the levels are back to normal they will try me again but on a 2.5mg dose. Has anyone else had problems at low doses? Just feeling very fed up. I am in the middle of moving so am stressed enough as it is.....still smiling though...just! Many thanks for any help, advice and support.
