Folitrax 10 Mg For Ra

I am taking Folitrax 10 mg - 2 tabs twice a week for about three years.I do not have pain in the body , but my ESR level is hovering between 40 to 60 . My doctor tells me that some person' s ESR level generally remains high and is a normal position. My age is 73 .
My question is - Can I discontinue Folitrax now. I have thoroughly studied its side effects which far outweigh its curative effects.Please give your independent opinion based on your experience as my doctor has not discontinued it yet.
