Medication levels - seems a little crazy!

Since being diagnosed with RA about 4 weeks ago I'm now on MTX (3 doses so far, latest was 17.5 mg and headed to 25 mg), 1 mg folic acid daily, (2) Aleve 2x per day daily, 5 mg prednisone daily and an injection of corticosteroid in each wrist. My rheumatologist gave me a pamphlet on Humira at my last appointment and I believe he will be putting me on this at my appointment next week. Seems like an awful lot of medication awful fast! Curious to hear what other people's experience has been when newly diagnosed with the list of medications and how long they have been on them.
