TREXALL (METHOTREXATE SODIUM): Methotrexate is used to treat certain types of cancer or to control severe psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis that has not responded to other treatments. It may also be used to control juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Methotrexate belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells and suppressing the immune system. Early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with more aggressive therapy such as methotrexate helps to reduce further joint damage and to preserve joint function.

Worsening depression, strange patches of skin redness, extreme irritability, decreased sexual desire.
uncomfortable during intercourse
Loss of appetite or that feeling that I have to eat to fill the bottomless pit. I can stop once I reach full. Increased libido.May have had insomnia in the beginning, but no longer a problem.
Lower libido which was not as severe as other antipsychotics like Respiradone, Seroquel, Geodone, Haldal, Zypraxa... Which I have tried. Basically I'm pretty happy with Navane. It dries up the delusions and psychosis pretty well. I can't imagine being on something else.
Has my seizures under control is a good medacation just give it some time.
I was prescribed Macrobid by a physician I have never before been to but who was available when I needed an appointment. I was supposed to take 1 pill twice a day for 7 days. I was wary about taking this medicine, and held off for 1 day after getting it. Immediately after my 1st dose, I experienced the most overpowering nausea and vomiting. It was as if my body was trying to purge itself of this awful drug. I cannot take this drug for the duration prescribed. I have a feeling of being unwell and suspect that this drug is poison to me. I am discontinuing and will follow up with my regular doctor regarding my UTI.
While this pill does have some bad side effects I would not stop taking it. When I was 19 years old the doctors found sever osteoporosis. My Bone density was at -2.51. For years my doctors tested me for every strange diease and tried several drugs to increase my bone density. Nothing worked. After just two year on Fosamax weekly my bones went from -2.51 to -1.9. I am due for another yearly bone density scan in a month and I can't wait. There is a good change that by now my osteoprosis is gone. The effects are worth being cured from osteoprosis.
The only good thing about this pill is the shorter and lighter periods it gives you. Also, my appetite has gone way down which I think is unusual for any bcp.
