I am having to rethink what I thought was a quick bout of gastro enteritis. I feel constantly nauseous but no vomiting. Dry heaves in the morning and dry mouth. Even when I looked at my mtx last week I felt sick! But this doesn’t seem to correlate with when I take it. What I don’t understand is I’ve been on this stuff for over a year. Maybe it’s totally unrelated. Aarrggjhhh etc.

Hi I’ve been on mtx for many years also hydroxychloroquine plus Bloodpressure tabs. & the usual anti inflammatory tablets etc.
I find I do feel sick in the mornings & if I get hungry.
I always take the mtx in an evening with cornflakes or a banana. In a morning the sickness goes off if I eat my breakfast melon . I have problems with different types of mtx so I always try to have the same make .I did have a bout of norovirus a few months ago ,went to Gp who suggested not to to have mtx for two weeks. Have you tried ginger biscuits etc.
I still get nauseous from methotrexate even after switching to jabs -it's less that the tablets but still a problem, hits 5 hours after jab and most of next day. I use anti nausea pills from GP. I reduced methotrexate dose but it has helped me so much that I'm coping with the side effects. M x
Was the same fine for 2 years on methotrexate then like you couldn't look at it without feeling ill so stopped it. Leflunomide was the same 2 years ok then fatigue and night and day sweats. Stopped it 8 weeks ago and night sweats have stopped and fatigue so much better. Some people can take these drugs for years with no problem but everyone different.
