Stay away from Methotrexate and Neotigarson. If prescribed ask the doctor/dermatologist about the side effects. Both can affect the liver and kidneys, especially Neo. You notice the kidney pain after about a month. You are not supposed to drink alcohol while taking MTX. I was never told this when prescribed. Needless to say neither MTX or Neo have worked for me.

Would also be interested in answers to this as I'm about to start PUVA with methetrexate.
