MTX and no sleep

yayyar

I take my methatrexate on a friday and then have to stay up till nearly 4 am has i dont feel tired .Ive mentioned this to my rhuemy who just looked in her book and said this isnt a side affect.So why is it only after taking MTX do i not sleep just wondered if there was any 1 else who has the same.Other than that the MTX working great and i take 20mg... 8)

Hi yayyar my sleeping patterns since I have been on methatrexate have not unduly changed perhaps it is the knowing that it is working that is making you sleep better and I am gald it is working well for you long may it continue

yayyar

Thanks for your reply noeltone.I see so many people on here in pain and i feel terrible has ive never had any side affect with the MTX and its working so great for me for now just wish every 1 could respond to the meds like i have.Sometimes get the feeling that maybe rhuemy was wrong and im all fixed better now

Hi Yayyar I'm not sure if its the drugs or the ups and downs of the illness that keeps us awake. I have no sleep pattern at all some times i can sleep some times i cant last night i got a full 6 hours without waking but most nights i'm up and down and them some nights no sleep at all, then i sleep for days lol i always feel better after a good sleep.
Take Care
