Hi. I have a very rare form of non hodgkins lymphoma t cell. I'm taking 10 Methotrexate pills weekly. I was wondering about side effects. I was on a much larger dose but my body couldn't handle it.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, joint pain, diarrhea, cough, and drowsiness.

Are you on any other medications? How long have you been taking it?
