Hello,
I have studied your case. if you are not feeling better with these medicine than you need to replace them with some other medicine. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Tablet Leflunomide
2.Tablet HCQ
You can increase doses of the methotrexate from 7.5 to 15 mg once a week.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
