is it wise to stop | Arthritis Information

I have been on Methotrexate since June 07.

I get some side effects, this fuzzy brain some of you have described, ive had it most of today as i took my meds last night. I have slept on and off most of today. I have very sensitive skin since taking them, i have an itchy rash covering most of my trunk at the moment. I also have mega sensitive teeth, feel sick etc
I am really fed up, and feel like i want to come off them. I dont know what i will be like off them, as i really wasnt too bad when i started them, ESR was 32, and i had morning stiffness and pain in my knees and hands.
I do aerobics once a week and use my cross trainer a few days a week, ive lost 2 stones in weight...so i dont want to be able to not do all of this also.
It feels like a no win situation!
Oh yeah and not planning to stop without asking rheumy about it first.
 
Any one come off these tablets, and what were you like?
