I've heard conflicting stories about taking tylenol and mtx. The

concern is that both can affect the liver. The sites I've read say

it is safe to take them together, but some members have had doctors

that say not to take them together.

If your blood tests indicate a problem with your liver, your doctor

may make changes in your meds.

I told my RA Dr about all of the things I take including OTC stuff. I

was not told to change anything and I take a multi-vitamin as well as

extra C, E and calcium. You may want to check with the Dr about it,

or others at this website. I hope your headaches get better - some of

the side effects get better the longer you take mtx. I have some

times when I feel fairly well after mtx and other times I feel pretty

lousy. It's weird and I don't know why it is like that. But I'm only

9 weeks into the Rx so... we'll see.

I have never heard that there is a problem taking multi vitamins

while on mtx. Hopefully you will adjust to the mtx and not feel so

bad.

Hey,

This always seems to happen, my mind is AWOL most of the time,lol I am suppose

to take my mtx tonight. I forgot, and took my vitamins, will that hurt? Should

I take it tonight, or wait until tomorrow?

Thanks so much,

Tawny
