I recently started using Otrexup 15mg/0.4ml for rheumatoid arthritis and have found it incredibly easy to use thanks to the pre-filled syringes. However, I've also had some concerning side effects. The common ones are mild, but the urgent side effects are alarming. Has anyone else experienced severe symptoms like infections, bleeding, or even stroke-like symptoms? I am worried about the potential severity. How do you manage these risks? Have any of you had to stop using it or switch to something else? I'd love some advice from others on how to deal with this.

Hi everyone, I've just been prescribed Otrexup for severe rheumatoid arthritis and I'm really nervous about starting it. Has anyone here used this medication? I'm particularly concerned about the side effects, especially the rare but serious ones. My doctor assured me that the benefits outweigh the risks, but I'd love to hear from others who have been through this. How did you find the injection process? Were there any side effects that caught you off guard? Are there any tips for managing them? I need all the info I can get—thank you in advance!
