Talk 2 her Dr: She will need to talk to the doctor who prescribed the methotrexate. It is highly important that doctors get feedback on how medications affect their patients. Give that Dr. the option of stopping methotrexate, changing the dose of it, or replacing with another medication. It is highly important that the same doctor who prescribed methotrexate makes the next decision for or against for the medication.
