Every once in awhile my MTX makes me pretty sick. Day after, I am very very tired and somewhat nauseated. I sort of feel like I have the flu. However, this does not happen all the time so I just put up with it. I like the fact that I havent had a flare for a very long time. You might end up sick like this with the original medicine also. Good luck. I hope you are feeling better.
same box same mtx then box changed and mtx shape they made me really ill
i took my old box to chemist and he orderd them in .. stomach was a lot better.
i was kinda hoping you had a answer about my foot glad for you ..that you
have not...

Sorry about your leg and foot. It sounds painful. I also feel icky on occasion from the MTX, but mostly I tolerate it well. I hope by going back to the type you did well on, you'll feel better. It's awful when the med that's supposed to make you feel better makes you feel sick.
Umm...."Dont foreget to flush it..." (???)
Actually, generics are allowed to differ by 20% of the brand, so you're right that the medications are different.hi jess i am no longer on mtx .. i wonderd do you take folic acid .

Have you thought about purpura/vasculitis as being a cause of the problems with your feet and toes.I've never had a problem with a generic med, and neither has my husband. He takes generic equivalents of zocor, coreg and avapro. I take generic plaqenil and metoprolol. Generic methylprednisolone dose-packs have never failed to work wonders for me.
