Otrexup Reviews
For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I was in remission with Arava and oral methotrexate for 7 years, but stopped taking methotrexate because I didn't think I needed it anymore, and I was slightly nauseated every time I took it. It was a big mistake because my feet are a hot mess. I became totally out of remission with major shoulder/neck pain and fatigue. I recently added Otrexup, in addition to taking Arava. After 2 weeks, I was pain-free and my energy level has returned. I am paying $179 per month for Otrexup, and it's a hardship. I am planning to discuss with my doctor going back on oral methotrexate, which is only $10 per month."
For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I've been using Otrexup for several months now, increasing from a 10 mg injection to a 20 mg. I have had severe leg cramps in my thigh muscles since beginning this drug. However, I was injecting into the same leg and then leg(s), so maybe I will try the stomach. I am also on Rituximab infusions. These drugs have turned my health around; my RA is now manageable."
