Advice & Tips
I took a day of rest because I felt so sick the day I took it. Taking it with food helps and not early in the morning. Usually I felt fine the rest of the week. I did not feel any benifit from it. I do not remember the exact dose.

Advice & Tips
This stuff is vicious! One thing I do have to say for it is that I have not had to shave my underarms since I was on it. My leg hair also grows back much more slowly than it used to. It almost killed my liver. My driver's license photo was taken while I was on Methotrexate and everyone who sees the photo comments on how yellow I looked. I did bounce back from the bad effects fairly quickly after stopping the meds.
