I have been on Humira about 8 mo. After being on almost all the othe biologics. IM not doing great on it but go to weekly injections @A myRAteam Member.
When I first started it, in 2008, it was noticeable in 24 hours. Now, it's not doing a damn thing. Guess it depends on each individual.
Hi Ginny, I am taking Humira weekly for past two year.s.Before that I took it every other week. If you are getting some relief with the smaller dose taking the higher dose should work. I sure hope it does. RA is difficult when you have to change medications. I know I will probably need a different one in the near future.all the best to you. Let me know you do.
I started with Embrel and it worked in about a week. I would still be on it but my doctor thought I would have less inflammation with Humira. I did not see any difference between the 2 meds. Methotrexate is the one that can take over a month before any improvement is seen.
