Ladybrannon,
could you explain a little about this med? How new is it? Is it anything like the methotrexate? I just got put on protonix for my stamoch three days ago it seems to do the trick.
Happy holidays,

Methotrexate, which I have taken before, is an old chemo drug. This drug is apparently much newer and was, as usual, actually created for ra patients. It is a fairly nasty drug in that it requires monthly hepatic panel tests (like methotrexate) and takes a while to leave your system.

I recently started it and it causes/caused a lot of the same things as the methotrexate did...Serious amounts of nausea and vomiting. Yuck!

I'm trying to recall who makes it, but am drawing a blank right now. I'll get back to you on that.

Hugs,
ladybrannon
