User Reviews for methotrexate sodium injection

I had been taking the pills for almost 2 1/2 years. With very little results the pain was just a constint thing. Most days I just wanted to stay in bed I hurt so much. I talked to my Dr about changing to injectable and she thought it would be a good idea. I have only been taking it for about a month now and am so happy with the results. I am stiff in the morning but after a shower I feel great. I am so happy with the difference.

hair loss, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite (not bad thing I guess, I'm overweight anyways). I still have pain and swelling in my left hand. Very little flare ups, so far. Much of the pain and swelling is gone. I've been on the weekly shots for 5 weeks.

I have been on Methotrexate since a year ago. It seemed to be helping and under care of my doctor. I have developed an inflammed stomach lining and two ulcers due to this drug. Other meds I am on do not leave me with any side affects. I have had an ultrasound..am waiting for treatment from the Endoscopy doctor that did the tests. It will be a type of medicine to heal my stomach. I have been very sick and vomiting, dry heaves, and am limited to what I can eat. Please make sure if you have any of these side affects, you inform your doctor immediately. I am off the Methotrexate for good. Not a good experience for me. Thank You.Read More Read Less

I have been using Methotrexate injections for two months now and having the best results ever. I feel so much better and can do so many more activities than before, I have no pain in all my joints and what a relief.

I was diagnosed with RA over 12 years ago. I've been injecting methotrexate for several years. I take ibuprophen and Tramedol for inflammation and pain. I also supplement with folic acid and Vit D. I have my liver function tested on a regular schedule and have been very satisfied with the way my deterioration has slowed almost to a stop. I am very active and healthy!

I have polymyositis and within the first week of diagnosis my Dr started me on metho. I was taking one shot a week and was on it for about a year and a half. Why he had e on it for so long is a mystery to because I felt most of the side effects with no sign that the drug was helping. It is a very hard on your body and almost 5 years later I have yet to get my hair back.

The side effects of this drug are sproatic and vary. I can go weeks at a time without any and then I might get stomach problems, mouth sores, etc.

I recieved this med in 2 injections for an ectopic pregnancy. I had no side effects other than PAIN at the injection sites, which lastest about 8 hours. The pain was somewhat dulled with ice at the injection sites. Unfortunately, the methotrexate did not work and I needed surgery.

I have been taking this medication for more than three years and have not had any type of major reaction. I tend to get tired easier and I have developed a sensitivity to eggs and the smell of some plastics (makes me nauseous). I have severe psoriasis due to extreme indoor and environmental allergies and had tried everything from creams to uv therapy with no luck. Methotrexate for me has been a blessing.

Psoriatic Arthritis pain so bad could not sleep, work, etc. Started injuections 1 time week, and am living as before the condition. Has been miracle drug for me.

Was on pills for 2 years and now on injections for almost 1 year. The usual minor side effects with both pill/injections, but I feel great and have been pain free the entire time I've been on this. Have had to increase my folic acid due to mouth sores. Have found that taking Biotin daily really helps with the hair thinning/loss! Take care all!

Was used twice for ectopic pregnancy. Horrible side effects, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite. Unfortunately, the option available for this condition other than surgery.

I took the methotrexate pill form but had too many problems with stomach up sets, my dr. turned me over to injections which was very easy to use and quite painless.. but.. now my dr. is changing me to Hummara(sp) since even after 2x's of upping the doseage it doesn't seem to be effective. I've been taking it for almost 1 1/2 years (injection)

I have been taking Methotrexate Inj for over 10 years, I only recently had to up the dose. I am quite satisfied.

I started by taking it orally but it upset my stomach. My docter asked me if I could inject myself instead and I have tolerated it much better.
