Comment:
So far I haven't seen any improvement in my RA. I have only been on the drug for 1 month, and will give it more time. I am also on 10mg/d prednisone, MTX 25mg/wk, hydroxychloriquine 400mg/d. RA diagnosed about 1-1/2 years ago and my rhuematologist keeps adding drugs. The only relief was when I was on 20mg/pred daily. Not a great option!

I used this over six months then I started having Rosacea and horrible itching on arms, and chest. Decided it had to be this drug; so researched on line and stopped taking immediately. Symptoms stopped in one to two weeks.

Comment:
Took a few months to start seeing the affects; I am now pretty much asymptomatic. Did lose my sense of taste for almost a year, but that recently came back and I can taste everything again. No side affects for my liver at all. Methotrexate was very bad for my liver. I am satisfied with this medication.
