Been on cimzia 4 months but not much difference..

After reading all the good things about this drug and how it made such a difference to some people, I am so disapointed that I do not feel much difference. I am on cimzia until October when I will be reviewed at the hospital. I hope I will be offered another treatment as mtx injections alone do not help. I am feeling a bit depressed about all this, has anyone else switched from cimzia to another biologic because of no effect rather than an allergy or similar?

I'm in same situation but with enbrel. So sorry to hear cimiza isn't working for you, it's a miserable situation to be in. Hope they move you on quickly

no advice I'm afraid but just to say I sympathise , I have been on cimzia for 4 months too , no change , in fact I feel worse , I am on leflunomide too , been told to double the dose to see if it helps so I am blaming that on feeling rubbish. being reviewed in October too , it's soul destroying after waiting to get biologics and pinning your hopes on success and then nothing changes , let me know how you get on x
