I had been weaning off Prednisolone and my RA symptoms started to return. Consultant had hoped the methotrexate on its own (just with ibuprofen/naproxen/paracetamol as needed) would be enough but it isn’t.
I started 2x200mg daily hydroxychloroquine this week. I have been told it can take 6 weeks to notice the difference and that it works extremely well alongside methotrexate.
How do others get on with this combo?
I haven’t taken hydroxy but I’ve seen a lot of posts on here saying that the combination is effective. I hope it helps you 😊
Works for me.
And it works for me, too.
it worked in part for me but I now also take a biologic.
Hydroxy works for me with metho and sulphasalazine. We are all different.
Hi Aw600I have been on this for years it does help but please becarefiul if you like the sun make sure you use hi sun cream as it may have a reaction I did and had quite severe reaction but I'm just careful now good luck xx
I was on that combo for over 20 years and it worked well. It might take longer than 6 weeks to work ( maybe double that) but give it a good go and i Hope it works as well for you.
Methotrexate makes me feeling a bit sickly next day, don't take anything else and hope you will be alright with it
the combo has worked great for me for 7 years.2022 I lost 3 stone in weight to get my type 2 diabetes into remission. I am now off hydroxychloroquine for 5 months and methotrexate for 2 months and doing ok.
