Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 There is quite a bit of anecdotal testimony from members recommending folic acid when you are prescribed methotrexate. Since folic acid stops the action of the metho you should skip your dosage on that day. For instance, when I last took it I was having a 50 mg shot of metho and my doctor prescribed 1mg of folic acid a day for 6 days. Check with your rheumatologist. There is also another drug called leukovorin that stops the action od the methotrexate. I was prescribed that for a while too. I took it in divided doses over a 24 hour period after the metho shot in addition to the folic acid. Both of these were prescriptions when I took them. Hopefully, you and your doc will find one to get the severe fatigue in check. It worked really well for me S group founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
