Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Trexall 5mg Tablets (methotrexate)?
I was recently prescribed Trexall 5mg Tablets (methotrexate) for my rheumatoid arthritis. I've heard a lot about the potential side effects, especially the severe ones. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. How did you handle the side effects, and what advice would you give to someone just starting out on this medication? I'm a bit nervous about the potential for serious issues like infections, bleeding, or even more severe reactions. Has anyone had to deal with any of these, and if so, how did you manage? Any tips or personal stories would be greatly appreciated.

I heard that it can cause some serious lung issues. Make sure to get regular lung function tests. Better safe than sorry, right?
I've been on it for years and haven't had any major issues. Just regular check-ups and blood tests to monitor things. Good luck!
I took it for psoriasis and had no issues at all. Everyone's different, so just keep an eye out for any problems.
I had a really bad reaction to the medicine. I ended up with a severe rash and had to stop taking it. Definitely talk to your doctor about any unusual symptoms.
I think the generic name makes it sound a lot scarier than it actually is. I’ve been on it for a while and it’s manageable. Maybe talk to your doctor about adjusting the dose or taking it with food.
I was on Trexall for a while and experienced some nausea and fatigue, but nothing too severe. Just make sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body.
I've heard horror stories about this drug. My friend had to go to the ER with severe stomach pain. Be careful, guys.
I had some hair loss, but it's not a huge deal. Just make sure to follow your doctor's instructions closely.
I started with Trexall and switched to a different medication because of the side effects. The most annoying one was insomnia, but it wasn't worth all the scary symptoms you mentioned.
Severe side effects? I've got a question for you, how do you pronounce it? It's been causing my liver to ache, I think.
