Does anyone have highs and lows with methatraxate. My husband picked this one up. I take my jab on a wednesday, then i go into high until about sunday then i seem to run out of juice. Today i feel that i can do anything, but by tomorrow night i start to get exhausted and grumpy. Boy do i ache then.

It can affect mood....
i can vouch for that one. Its the pain and lethargy that gets me down. Bobs thinks i might need a bigger dose.
tiredness part of ra! and metho can add to the fatigue usually show it self as fatigue day of dose? xx
I'd never thought of this.....but now I'll keep an eye on it as I know I go up & down just hadn't tracked it. I've made myself little skeleton booklets where I keep track of joint pain (bit like the cartoon flip books that you might have had as a kid where flip pages to see cartoon move) so I think I'll add on an energy & happiness symbol.

I get exactly this!! but thought it was the 'side effects' kicking in later than everyone else's...
I take MTX on friday's & split the dose into 3 portions (morning, lunch, dinner) and have had no nausea I feel absolutely fine over the weekend but am aware of starting to feel a bit tired with achey fingers from a Tuesday..
Recently as of this week I started thinking that it might be the MTX wearing off ahead of the next top up?
