Several members of MyPsoriasisTeam have shared their experiences with methotrexate for treating psoriasis. Here are some key points:

- Hair Loss: Hair loss is a possible side effect of methotrexate. It occurs in between 1 percent and 3 percent of people taking the drug. Some members reported significant hair thinning.
- Dose Adjustment: Some members have managed to adjust their doses. For example, splitting the methotrexate dose into three divided doses given every 12 hours each week can help alleviate side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

If you are considering adjusting your dose, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it's done safely.
