Humira side effects: anxiety, fear, depression, scary thoughts. How to go back to normal and reverse them?

[Adamqum]

I took Humira for 9 months and I was doing better physically because of it with no side effects until one day out of the blue I had panic attacks, scary thoughts, anxiety and a lot more. I felt I was out of control and I was a shell of my self. I stopped humira 4 months ago and I am still suffering from this. I never had a history of this and I am seeing a physiatrist and taking anti-depressants but still not better. Anyone went through this and how long did it take to get better and how? Medication? Please anything helps. I asked doctors they all don’t know. Anyone know how this can be reversed and I go back to my normal life? Please? Thank you

Hi. I know nothing about side effects from this particular drug but I do know that many drugs can have similar effects. It's also quite common to get anxiety and depression seemingly out of the blue, non drug related. I know a psychiatrist will diagnose and prescribe but it might be useful to 'see' a counsellor (currently by phone or online )who can help you with mindfulness and other acceptance/ coping strategies. The global goings on don't help either do they.

I am so sorry you are going through this, if it’s any help at all,I too had terrible depression after only my 3rd injection,I actually tried to wrap my car round a tree! Fortunately Common sense took over,& no damage done! I got in touch with my rheumy nurse,she was amazing. She advised me to stop taking it, which I did within a month I began to feel much better, I’m now back on MTX which suits me much better though not as effective for the pain! I do hope you will be feeling better very soon, take all the advice & help you can get.
