I started methotrexate today and after doing a lot of research I'm looking for real world knowledge.
If you have taken methotrexate: how long did you stay on it, did it help and at what dose, did you have any serious side effects? I guess I'm scared off by all the listed side effect (the ones that sound fatal) but it seems like the drug is used quite a bit for lupus.
My doc has been wanting to start metho or imuran for a year due to symptoms so when my labs went up the past couple months she strongly advised me to give methotrexate a try.
Would love to hear from you.
