Patience: Not everyone reacts the same to all medications and you may simply need to continue to work with your dr. On the best medication and dosages that help you best. Good luck.

See details: Methotrexate is not adequate for all patients and up to 30% will not be controlled on Methotrexate alone. Speak with you rheumatologist about options such as tnf agents.
