Newbie with a pred/MTX question

[Guest guest]

I am recently diagnosed and I am tapering off pred and on MTX. I started the

pred at 15 mg. and I am now at 12.5 mg. ready to go to 10 mg on Tuesday

(reducing 2.5mg every two weeks until zero, hopefully). I started the MTX at 3

pills for 2 weeks, last night went up to 5 for two weeks and then will go to

7....taking once a week, of course. So, I read about fatigue on MTX and I am

wondering if it is the pred keeping my energy up and will I crash once the pred

is gone? Anyone with experience to share? I admit I was so scared to take the 5

pills last night, but it seems to be so far, so good.
