How long does it take for Methotrexate to work?

Thank you Doctor. This relates me. I only took MTX for 2 months and I am feeling great now

Just been prescribed Methotrexate and am terrified, these bitesize videos are perfect and answering all the nagging questions rolling around in my head. Thank you Doctor. 👍🏼

I have been on Methotrexate for a year and feel great. Injections are easy and my symptoms have just about disappeared. I am now looking to reduce the amount I inject weekly.

Very useful information. Thank you

Thank you Dr. Jordan, you answered the question I was looking for!!!

Sir my mother have RA ... she have lost 10 kg of weight in 1 year ... and now she is on methotrexate from 2 months ... is the weight loss is due to RA?

I was given methotrexate because of my tattoo related uveitis. I also get allodynia possibly causes by small fibre neuropathy. Then I had a biopsy on my tattoos, one piece cam because with sarcoidosis. I just want my energy back and the pain of the allodynia...will methotrexate help?

It would be interesting to know the earliest likely discernible effects of these treatments. I understand about full efficacy not being reached for around two months, but can one expect some positive impact before then (at least in some cases)?

Is it possible to experience vision that's blurrier than normal, nervousness or loopiness when you first begin this medication? (Began less than a week ago) Does this typically subside? Thank you!

Dies methotrexate affect your heart as in palpitations. Skipped beats etc as a side effect ?

Doctor, I began taking methotrexate; a rheumathologist prescribed it, of course. He's concerned my polyarthritis which at first, he believed it to be reactive arthritis because of my swollen left foot ankle, is either preliminary stages of psoriatic arthritis or ankylosiing spondylitis. I am scared and I wanted to ask whether it's ok to drink coffee while taking methotrexate. I never go above 400mg of caffeine intake on a day and I do drink more than enough water throughout the day. I will be getting methotrexate inkections for 11 more weeks. He's also instructed me to stay on Medrol 16mg, half of the pill for one more week and a quarter of the pill for another week. I hope my health condition improves. I also hope I am not dependent for the rest of my life on methotrexate. I'd truly appreciate your view. Have a nice day.

My 8 year old son just was put on Methotrexate for CRMO, but he is prescribed an injection once a week....how long should I look for some possible improvement?

Does methotrexate go through phase 1 and phase 2 metabolism?

Is methoxrate is used effectively cure morphia.

Your like all the other Doctors who think they have all the answers. It takes a lot longer then 2 months .I would like to know how many Doctors have Shares in the Drug companies to help push the price up.

My physician had originally prescribed 15mg tablets, but said that only a portion of the tablets are digested and can cause some side effects as I asked LOTS of questions. I'm not keen on taking this and I hesitated for months, but my increasingly painful joints lead me to finally try it. Reading about the side effects online and seeing that many started with tablets and then eventually switched over to shots because of nausea, etc., I asked if I could just start with the injectable version and use less to start since it's more readily absorbed? She agreed and I've now taken four shots of .3ml (7.5mg). From your video, you indicated that I should start to feel the effects after another month or so. If I feel no change after, say, three months, does that generally mean that: this med doesn't work for me? Or that I'll potentially need to up my dosage? At what point does one determine that methotrexate simply isn't the answer to one's joint issues? Cheers for your info!

What if Methotrexate is used with a secondary medication, in my case Sulfasalazine. I have been on Sulfasalazine for just under 10 years for Anky Spon and just started on Methotrexate10 ml, once a week, dose. I have taken 2 doses so far, and another is due tomorrow. What sort of time frame can I expect before some one in my situation starts to feel the benefits of M kicking in?

I am on 7.5 mg methotrexate for the past 1 month for morphia, but I have been experiencing headaches, nausea, and difficulty focusing. These symptoms could be secondary to methotrexate or something else?

Methotrexate almost killed me.

can Methotrexate cause pulmonary fibrosis? I read somewhere how likely is it to get pulmonary fibrosis from methotrexate
