Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Kathy, I'm just getting to my email, so you may already have your answers. Here's how MTX & folic acid worked for ME: 1. If you get canker-sore-like things in your mouth/on your tongue, check w/ your dr. Your folic acid might need to be upped. It can be a side effect of MTX & it hurts! Mine went away quickly with more folic acid. 2. I took my 8 tablets of MTX 4 at a time (4 in morning & 4 at night but not right before lying down), on the same day. 3. I drank lots of water with MTX. 4. I always ate something before taking MTX. 5. I took folic acid every day. Hmmm...I eventually started enbrel in addition to MTX because MTX alone didn't do the trick for me. Hope things are working well!
