I Have Been Taking Enbrel And Methrotrexate For 2 Yrs

I have been taking Enbrel and Methrotrexate for 2 yrs now for diagnosis of RA. Also on a transdermal pain patches. It appears as though it doesn't work anymore. I am to the point to where I feel I would rather not take anymore medicine at all. I feel if it isn't working for me, then why take it? Is there something other you would recommend? I just started this week taking low doses of Prednisone and Amitriptyline. Am I on the correct medications or would I benefit more from natural forms of treatment? My life is horrible. What are your thoughts? Do you agree with the medications I am currently on and if so, why am I not getting any relief?
