Methotrexate and Migraine

I wanted to comment about the methotrexate injections and migraine headaches

.im having issues finding the thread. This Monday the dose was increased.20 to .25 I came up with the mother of all migraines the day after. Tonight I have another one. My episodes have calmed over the last two years and silly me … I’m without the medication cocktail the neurologist prescribed.I know my body and I’m positive this increase for my RA flare is the culprit!

Hello @nana8 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that you will experience that as well.

I understand that you have methotrexate injections and suffering from migraines and wondering of the methotrexate has triggered this. I personally have no experience of this drug as I have OA, but I am sure that others will be able to share their support and experiences with you. I have put in below some info on methotrexate from our website which might be of use.

I have been taking oral methotrexate for ten weeks and I have been having more aura migraines.

I mentioned this at my check up and was asked if I have had migraines before….which I have…and was told not to be concerned!

I will be mentioning them again!

Hope that things settle down for you.
