There is potential for a serious interaction between methotrexate and amoxicillin. The interaction would mainly be of concern if the patient was taking a large dose of methotrexate and/or was on long term amoxicillin. MONITOR CLOSELY: Concomitant use of large doses of penicillins may elevate serum methotrexate concentrations.

Possible drug interactions with amoxicillin include: Allopurinol increased risk of rash when allopurinol is given with amoxicillin. Methotrexate amoxicillin may reduce methotrexate excretion, causing an increased risk of toxicity. Monitor.

I saw my neurologist on Friday (she's new) and we talked for nearly fifteen minutes about the plot of LNH ... then about the nerve damage in my feet. I go back in for testing either next week, or the week after. Basically, they shock all my muscle groups to determine how bad things are.
Mentally, I'm still a freaking mess. I haven't written anything new in five days now. An old friend who helped me with Ebb Tide is giving what I've done a look to see if he can give me a kick in the pants.
Otherwise, I've been poking at 'Oh No!' and 'If this is a Harem Story' to no real affect.
Perhaps, when the anxiety and passions of this election pass, my mind will straighten out a bit. Here is to hoping.
Thank you for asking, WhitePaint.
