Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I don't post much and I have probably asked someone this before but I need advice. I have RA and take 12.5 mg Methotrexate once a week. It doesn't seem to be working. Have been on it since February. They tried increasing my dose but it made my anxiety go through the roof and my heart was racing. Rheumy had put me from 12.5 mg to 20 mg. My question is I am having to take prescription strength Aleve lately every 12 hours and even a percocet during the day. Is it safe and/or normal to take Nsaids with methotrexate? Also is it normal to have them start you right on Methotrexate right from diagnosis? I am really feeling lost that things seem to be getting worse rather than better. I see a new rhuemy and a naturopath doc on the 28th. Anyone had any experience with the naturopaths? Sorry for so many questions but I could just cry right now. It is so hard taking care of the kids when you hurt. I was on zoloft but had to stop taking it because it was making my hair fall out believe it or not. I always seem to have the weird side affects. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
