Dear Mam ,
You need to tell us for what reason is he taking methotrexate , that too in high dose.
General feeling of not well may be due to the underlying condition for which , he is taking methotrexate.
Other thing is , you can get his liver function tests done , as methotrexate may cause liver injury , which may lead to jaundice / hepatitis and this kind of feeling may be a part of it.
Good Luck.
