I Want to Stop Methotrexate

[Caroline]

It's not unusual FW, methotrexate can work but not for long and 9/10 will feel nausea from it. I found it also made me feel like a zombie all the time, as for the injections for me it was just as bad as the tablets and I even found it gave me mood swings but that could of been down to me hating the stuff.

Stelara would be your best way to go Stelara (ustekinumab) and you can have a drink whilst using it.

At the end of the day it's your body and you have to decide, but in my opinion methotrexate should not be used today for psoriasis.

As for stopping it, I think you can just stop using it but I would discuss that with your doctor.

*I'll move this to Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis

I had been hopeful, especially since a long-time friend from Oregon has a husband with adult-onset rheumatoid arthritis.  MTX helped him tremendously, and he had no negative effects.  He must be the one of ten who doesn't.  

Yes… MTX works tremendously well for rheumatoid arthritis !! We all know that.

But…..
What apparently the rheumatologists do not know is that rheumatoid arthritis is completely different from Psoriatic Arthritis and needs a completely different treatment. The origin of both diseases is totally different, which can already be seen in the fact that with rheumatoid arthritis it is easy to see that there are rheumatic-factors visible in the blood and with Psoriatic Arthritis you see nothing in the blood.
