I currently take MTX for UC with Remicade. For the first four months I really did not have any side effects from the MTX, however, lately I feel like they have been getting a little worse. Extra nausea, stomach aches and overall feeling of unwell--even had some diarrhea this past week which I never have. Some weeks are better than others. Was thinking of increasing my folic acid as I am taking only 1mg per day. Does anyone know if I can just get more folic acid from the pharmacy to use in conjunction with my 1mg presciption or do I have to have my doc write a script
with an increased dose?
Thanks for any help!
