I am 34 years old and have been on 10mg (mostly) of methotrexate for my seronegative arthritis for a few months now. My knees are the most affected but also shoulders fingers, feet, and inner elbows. I seem to get headaches and when I increase my dosage to 20mg a week (when my knees are really bad), I get loss of libido. Does anyone elso suffer these kind of side effects?

I am a 25 years old man. I was 22 when I started methotrexate injection (25mg/week).
I kept this treatment for two years for Crohn's disease. I quit partly because of the side effect (tiredness, depression and loss of libido) and because there was a new treatment available for Crohn's disease (Remicad).
Just to make sure we talk about the same thing when I say "loss of libido" I mean loss of sex desire. All the other things work pretty well...
Still I hope the side effect are not irreversible, because I still suffer from loss of libido 2 years after I quit Methotrexate.
Your wondering for loss of libido are the first I heard. You actually comfort me in the hypothesis of a link with methotrexate treatment. I think I'll go soon to a specialist.
Thanks.

Hello Jule, I had methotrexate for cancer when I was 17. I do remember headaches. Tired, and taking it easy. I got better. Been out of the woods on that one for a long time now.
I was thinking that its a darn good thing that you lost your libido! If all of those body parts are hurting you so bad then forget it! LOL! Really, don't worry about that right now and just concentrate on taking care of yourself and getting well. Good luck to you.

Hi to jb_fr. I have Crohn's disease too and have been on 12-week infusions of Infliximab for the past few years. My libido has completely been shot to pieces too. I am a 28-year-old woman and it's causing massive issues in my life as you can imagine! Do you know if Infliximab is the cause of the problem too?

So, I have just recently started taking methotrexate and wondering if it is alright to take percocets while being on methotrexate?
