As with most other DMARD (disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) agents, there is a risk of bone-marrow depletion with methotrexate.A low neutrophil count is of most concern and can present with high fever and sore throat. So it's not actually the transition from one drug to another but it's likely that the methotrexate's responsible for your low neutrophil count.
