Hi..
Thanks for the query..
I understood your problem completely. These are the usual adverse effects of methotrexate, no need to worry for that. Long term use of methotrexate can cause megaloblastic anemia, fatigue etc. I advice you to take folinic acid supplements which will prevent these adverse effectcs.
Thank you
