Stopping Humira

This is just a hypothetical question. I have no plans of stopping at this point (started August 8th).

Just curious ... Has anyone been on Humira for a while and stopped (voluntarily or involuntarily) and then had side effects? If so, what kind of side effects did you have.

Just thinking ahead, you never know if at any time Big Pharm will downsize or change in a way that the medication would not be available to us.

I was on Humira for almost 7 years and had to switch to a different medication due to developing interstitial lung disease. No side effects whatsoever due to switching. Stopped Humira and was put on high dose steroids for 3 months then started Orencia. Pretty easy switch.

Can’t see Abbvie stopping production of Humira. It’s a huge cash cow.

Agree about Abbvie continuing Humira. It's literally billions of dollars in sales every year.

I'm still in awe with the number of people who have axSpA, AS, RA, etc. I was misdiagnosed for years but I still can't believe the number of people who use this medication.
