Xolair and tiredness

So I started xolair on Tuesday, I'm not too sure of the side effects but I'm completely exhausted. Since starting it I've been dizzy, pain in my legs and really bad fatigue. I'm struggling to stay awake for any length of time.. How long will this last for?

I have had 70+ doses of Xolair and have never had that kind of experience. Contact your doctor and see what they think.

I'm in a Xolair group on Facebook and a lot of people report fatigue the first month. I was super tired and slept weird the first week after my first shot. It's because Xolair impacts histamine which is a key part of the sleep cycle. Could the dizziness and leg pain be related to anything else? I'd contact your doctor asap to be on the safe side-

I’m on Nucala. I have the exact same symptoms. Seem to come in waves, but my energy levels haven’t ever fully returned and I still get leg pains shortly after an injection for a few days. I’ve probably been on biologics around 12 months now.

I was on Nucala and had extreme leg pain/sciatica. After 4 injections, I said NO MORE and now I'm trying to beat this sciatica. It is terrible. The worst pain I have ever had in my life and I have had 2 kids.
