Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Viki, I've been on 10 mg of MTX for over two years. You're right, MTX is a chemo drug, but we take it in much, much, much smaller doses than they use for chemotherapy. It's a commonly used drug for arthritis, and I'm guessing quite a few of the people on this message board are either on it or have been on it. Some of the side effects I experienced were headache, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue. Plus hair loss, but that stopped and now my hair is even thicker and curlier than before. Where are you in Bulgaria? I lived in Blagoevgrad for two years and have travelled quite a bit in your beautiful country. in Maine > > Does hair loss affects from the dosage of Mtx? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
