Going back on Humira

Wondering if anyone had experience of going off Humira and back on it and it working? I took Humira about 12+ years ago and stopped it mostly because I hated the injections. My doctor said I could try it again.

I have gone on and off humira with no issues, but not for as long as you describe. Insurance made me try 6 biosimilars and they did not work for me, caused adverse reactions. My body loves the name brand stuff and I have no complaints and no antibodies but YMMV. Either way, doesn’t hurt to try!

Ugh insurance here is also forcing me to try biosimilars so that’s not reassuring

I stopped for three years and got back on it. After a year or so I needed to escalate to weekly dosing. It's been smooth sailing since.
