I have started methotrexate 15 mg and now taking 20 mg. I am feeling lots of stress around my eyes and headache. And very lethargic and strange feelings around and in my stomach area.

Yes unfortunately it the side effect of methatrexate I was fealing the same but stuck it out for 12 months due to it making my legs and hands feal a lot better ( it took about 3 months to see any improvement) but I have just gone to injections and the side effects are a lot less so I have now got my week ends back as I'm no longer lying around fealing rough give it time to work but if it gets to bad ask for injections but if you feal really bad ring up rumi and tell the nurse they are very helpful
