Twitching
Hi
I have recently started treatment with methotrexate 10mg dose. I am on my 6th dose.
I have noticed that my bottom lip has started twitching from time to time for the past week and have had a couple of twitches in my left knee only noticed today.
Could this be a side effect of methotrexate?

Dear @JulieP
Thank you for your posting on the forum. I am sorry to hear that you are have twitching in your bottom lip and in your left knee and you have asked if this could be a side effect of methotrexate.
Methotrexate can sometimes cause side effects and I have put the link below for our information on methotrexate which contains the potential side effects however, it is important that you speak to your rheumatology department and speak to a health care professional if you are concerned about any potential side effect that is not listed so that they can advise you.
