Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I took mtx for only a short time since it wasn't doing me much good. I don't remember having the big d with it. I think I get more of the loose stools when I drink coffee first thing in the morning and also take my meds. i have to have my cup of joe. If you want to check some of the side effects people can get from their meds....go to askapatient.com and type in your med. I bet there are a huge review on mtx and arava.
