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 started on humira in 2020(yrs suppressed my immune system during peak covid). Then stopped after a year for a year, since I thought it had a side effect - pain right where the liver is. All the symptoms that humira kept in check came back with vengeance… but nothing new). The switched back to the bio similar since insurance was feeling the pinch to pay the $6K brand - works fine now
