We do daily too - 2 mg daily, including the day of the shot. We found 1 mg daily was not enough - my girls got mouth sores.

Thought it odd too, everyone seems to be daily, but my son's doc gave him 5mg weekly too, the day after MTX. We just started 2 weeks ago. Doc said he could do 1mg daily instead, but he chose to do it weekly (he's 15). No issues so far.

When I took it as prescribed (5mg weekly) to go along with methotrexate, I suffered a lot of nausea and headaches. Discussed w my GI and now take 1 mg daily except on needle day. Side effects are much better now

I may have to go back to 1mg a day. She is complaining about headaches again. Thanks for your reply.
