Hi, I'm new to this site but I'm curious. I'm aware of the side effects of Rituxan, however I had it 5 days ago, everything fine, then this morning I woke with such a bad headache that won't stop. Is it possible that it's from the Rituxan so many days later?

Rituxan Question
Hi, it very well could be! Was it your first or second infusion, I know I usually feel out of sorts for a couple of weeks after...it's pretty strong stuff. Have you got a helpline or doctor you could contact if you're concerned they will be best to advise you to be honest. Hope it improves for you and that you eventually get a good result from the Rituximab. 😊
I have only just started on Rituximab I had the first infusion nearly two weeks ago the second part is this Tuesday. I have had a headache for the first 4/5 days. I felt really washed out for a few days too. As 3littlebirds2 has said it's pretty strong stuff and we all react in different ways to the meds we are taking. I had a strong reaction during the first infusion resulting it taking twice as long to infuse!
