Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi Everyone, Have any of you ever got sick from folic acid? The reason I'm asking is I have always taken folic acid daily (for about 10 years) because I take Methotrexate. About 2 months ago I started feeling very sick to my stomach, nervous to the point of my whole body shaking, and insomnia on top of that. I couldn't figure out what was causing this and dropped 30 pounds because I couldn't eat. Since I take a lot of medications, I decided to try to narrow it down by NOT taking one of my medications daily. When I didn't take the folic acid I was fine....back to my normal self. So I researched folic acid on the Internet and those are side effects if a person is getting too much folic acid. I talked to my doctor about it and she contacted my rheumy about it but has not got back to me about it on what I should do as far as a replacement. All I know is I will not take folic acid anymore. Has this happened to anyone else? Thank you to anyone who can offer any suggestions on this. Shay in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
