If it were me, I'd be asking your Dr what he thinks you should do regarding taking the steriods at the same time. Personally, I found the MTX worked quite quickly - don't forget that BW is taking it for a completely different issue and for her circumstances it may have taken longer to work. Within 2 weeks of taking it I found that all the redness on the plaques had nearly gone and within a month I saw a remarkable change in the plaques and they were all but gone in most places - some of the larger areas were more persistent though and did take up to 2 months to clear up. But I had a severe guttate flare up and had psoriasis over 80% of my body at the time.
It is the type of drug that you really do need to try and then find the right dosage amount. I am on a large US forum for psoriasis and some have found a small dose works well, some found they need a larger dose and for some it doesn't work at all. You really need to be asking your Dr these questions because we can only tell you our personal experiences which will obviously be quite different to yours.
