Does anyone have delayed side effects on Methotrexate?

Does anyone have a bad day 2 or 3 days after taking their weekly dose of Methotrexate? I get flu like symptoms (no fever) that last about 12 hours. I have been on Methotrexate for 2 months.

  1. I had immediate side affect. I got pneuminitis. Went away when they switched me to leuflatimide. Hope this helps

    1. Thanks! I will see my Dr in a couple of weeks.

      1. Curlyq777, I've not had any side affects with methotrexate .

        1. That's great tryingharder! It seems to be working for me otherwise so I will stick it out and mention it to my rheumy.
