If you have a mobile phone or amazon echo you can set a weekly reminder. If it was me I would take my normal dose.

I quit taking mine and had no side effects. I have psoriatic arthritis, did not like the list of side effects! Why did you stop?

Hi Stephanie, I take 17.5mg of methotrexate once a week. but recently I had trouble with my supply and missed about 3 weeks too. In the end I got an emergency prescription from the hospital via my rheumatologist. He did say to me though that it is like going back to the beginning again... Methotrexate takes a while to get into your system and work. Its really worthwhile trying to keep on top of this medication because of that.

Good luck

Anne

Hi, I had to miss 4 weeks of methotrexate at one point as I had infections. it didn’t seem to affect my RA at all, I have also missed for a couple of weeks occasionally whist on antibiotics I take methotrexate injections
