Brain Fog on MTX | Arthritis Information

 

Hi All,

Does anyone get "brain fog" while taking MTX?  I am too young to be getting senile!!!   LOL    Sometimes I can't bring the right work to the tip of my tongue.  Does that happen to anyone else?

What were you saying?

Yeah; I have that alot.....not sure if it's the MTX; but I think I'll use it.

I've been on MTX for a while now so it certainly could be contributing.

I take 10mg of MTX on Friday night before I go to bed, and am always Brain Fogged Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. For some strange reason, it usually clears up by noon on Saturday, and then comes on strong again on Sunday. Monday generally isn't that bad.

Yes!  I get it too.  It's very frustrating.  Like you, it seems like my mind and mouth won't work together. 

But, it seems to work for me, so I just take extra steps to "accomadate" my brain farts

Yep... but, I believe that it has to do with your bodies ability to handle the stress that the MTX causes on the body and the pain that we are in also.   I just don't make any major decisions Sunday through Tuesday and NEVER make appointments on a Monday... :o)  I  don't like to take my chances driving when I don't feel that I am alert.
