A member asked:

On methotrexate x10 months. only thing that stopped my flares. md suggested i may not need at some point and may have me taper off. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Toxicity: All medications have side effects and are used only as long as they are needed. Why take a medicine when no longer needed. Only way to find out is to taper off.
