Hi all, I have recently had my methotrexate dose increased from 17.5 to 20 mg. I take this orally once a week followed by follicle acid 72 hours later.
I am experiencing what I feel must be a very uncommon side effect as I can't find it listed anywhere - extreme flatulence! Now that you've stopped giggling - it's really not funny!! Vile smelling, loud and absolutely disgusting wind! I am trapped in my house for at least two days because of it!
I take my metho dose mobday morning and it starts Tuesday afternoon and doesn't stop until Friday.
Has anyone experienced this or heard of anyone who has?
Very sorry t hear that and it's not very nice for yourself , I'm currently off it as well as I had ulcers in my throat and I was getting blurred vision but I think that was down to the hydrocloroqine I also take sulfazalasine as well but I've been off all meds for 3 weeks now and I'm starting to struggle now, I've managed to get an emergency appointment tomorow at my consultants clinic so will see how it goes. Give the helpline a ring they might be able to help
Thanks, I'm new to the community so never even thought about ringing the help line. Sorry you're not doing so well yourself, good luck with your appointment tomorrow.
