Twitching a side effect of methotrexate?

JulieP

Hi

I am recently diagnosed with R.A.

Ive had 6 weeks of methotrexate treatment 10mg so far.

For the past week my bottom lip has been twitching and today a couple of twitches in right knee.

Could this be a side effect of Methotrexate? Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Thanks

Hi @JulieP I can see that you have had a response from our Helpline team for a similar query in a different channel of the forum, and that they pointed you towards the general methotrexate guidance.

I wanted to signpost you to a thread on the community about Methotrexate as it has a number of comments and may help you to link into others with a similar experience.

Hi Julie,

I have been taking methotrexate for nearly a year - so far I've had no twitching! Let me know how you get on with your treatment in the future!

Best wishes,

Emma
