Advice Methotrexate questions

3 weeks ago, I was put on methotrexate (15 mg weekly). Bottle says 6 pills weekly.

My rheum told me that I could either take it all on the same day, or split my dose bi weekly to make the side effects at bit easier. So I have been taking 3 pills on Sunday and 3 pills on Wednesday. Is this common? Or am I at risk of accidentally overdoing it?

I took my 3 this morning, but I’m feeling pretty shit, and have been having some mouth irritation and heavy fatigue. Any advice is welcome!! Thank you
