Hi Day

I am on Imuran a similar chemo med, and have been for about 5 yrs off and on. I take it 3 times/day. For me it has no real side effects that I've noticed, and I usually get s/e. When I was off them, my sx really increased.

I tried methotrexate in '06 as several in my MS group had been on it and were holding steady. It is a low dose and taken once a week. It is the prefered chemo drug in CO. I didn't notice any s/e either.

Shortly after starting it, I had a mild siezure, and stopped taking it. Turns out it was a coincidence, the med start and siezure. I've got a leison in my brain that seems to trigger siezures. I'll always be on anti-siezure meds now.

I think it is great alternative to the CRAB meds (I've tried 3 of the 4). THT
