Mantelukast

Fexafenadine

Prednisalone 40 mg

I was just wondering whether anybody is taking methotrexate as my consultant is keen for me to start this, and how do you find it.

Hi Bubbybird

My name is Lou. I have been on methatraxate for 6 weeks at 12.5mg a week. The only problems i have is i feel sick for2 days after taking it

Methatraxate also makes me more prone to bruising. I also take folio acid every day except the day i take methatraxate. Consultant said folio acid helps reduce problems. The anti sickness tablets i take when i need to work really well.

Good Luck with consultant bubblybird
