Adalimumab effect only lasting 10 days

[vonniesims]

I am on fortnightly injections and find day 1 to 11 I am quite pain free and not fatigued, but then it wears off. Does anyone else experience this?

Thankyou

I was on humeria fortnightly and I asked could I have it once a week and they said no and I had to come off it. I am now on benepali instead and that is weekly. I am finding this better. Hope you manage to sort something out. Take care.

Thankyou. I was changed to this from Benepali

I’m exactly the same but usually only lasts a week, the last few days are pretty hard, I asked about increasing the frequency and it was a resounding no. As it does work well for the first week I don’t really want to switch and try something else.

Hiya are u taking metho with it as myconsultant insists as your body fights jab otherwise. My being naughty decided not to take metho and yep he was right. Back on both changed my life . Good luck

Unfortunately I'm the same so I take etoricoxib 30 mg to help me on the last few days before the next injection.

I was like that for the first few weeks of taking Amgevita but then the injections started to last longer - all 2 weeks. I am on methotrexate as well and to begin with was on 20mg but have now been able to reduce methotrexate to 15mg. So far so good.
