Comment:
I have no reaction to this drug. I have not lost or gained weight. I have not lost any of my hair. I have been nauseated a few times and stomach burning if I don't take the medication with milk or food.

I have been on methotrexate for 9 years! I rarely have any flare-ups and can't believe how well it has worked for me. I hope it continues.
