I have RA and have been on Mtx for quite awhile and want to stop taking it. I want to try something natural. My question is do I have to taper off or can I just stop taking it? I was on 8 tablets once a week but last week I only took 6 tabs. Can anyone help me with this question. Of course if I ask my RA doc he will tell me not to go off of it. I am fearful of taking it because I am a two time cancer survivor and besides I am not so sure it has helped me all that much.Hi Susie, there is no need to taper off...just stop. I would get with your rd, there are other meds you could take... Good Luck. Jan
