HUMIRA  (ADALIMUMAB):  Adalimumab is used to reduce pain and swelling due to certain types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid, psoriatic, juvenile idiopathic, ankylosing spondylitis). This medication is also used to treat certain skin disorders (such as plaque-type psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa). It works by blocking a protein (tumor necrosis factor or TNF) found in the body's immune system that causes joint swelling and damage in arthritis as well as red scaly patches in psoriasis. Adalimumab belongs to a class of drugs known as TNF blockers. By reducing joint swelling, this medication helps to reduce further joint damage and preserve joint function. Adalimumab is also used to treat certain bowel conditions (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) and a certain eye disease (uveitis).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  RA I have to take my shot on the weekend because of the immediate side effects. Within 1 hour of taking it, I am feverish, fatigue, shortness of breath, longer than normal digestion, and body aches. For me, this last a minimum of 24 hours, sometimes 36. After the unfortunate loss of every weekend (which is quite depressing and an emotional roller coaster of feelings), I experience an engery boost like never before. I am almost jittery like, pacing at work, and I still have energy after work to help with dinner and chores that I have not been able to do for years. Overall, I do have improvements in joint pain, but not 100% gone. The anxiety/ depression of not being a productive mother and wife on the weekends (because of the shot) does negatively affect me. It’s definitely a different life and takes time to get used to. F 40 5 months

 1  RA my joint pain went from 4-5/10 to 9/10 within the first 4 injections/2 months. Instead of a gradual decrease in pain it was a dramatic increase over far too short of a period. given how this Rx works on suppression of TNF, I think the overall risks especially how it impacts the immune system is far too risky.

 3  Early onset psoriatic arthritis & p Mood swings. Anxiety. Anger. Obsessive thinking. Been on Hunira, Enbrel & Remicade depending on best deal providers could offer and the emotional side effects are very bad. I have alienated many people since being on it and i am fearful i will be alone the rest of my life due to how it makes me so messed up. I never stacked ot with SSRI's as i know what those do. All biologics helped with the physical conditions though and having the psoriasis go away and the arthritis clear up made me stay on it, as th3 methotrexate i took prior, felt unbearable. I am seeking medical and psychological help to determine the next move. As i am so old now, i almost don't mind the thought of letting my bones deteriorate if i stop and the psoriasis being all ove my body again. The remicade made me have suicidal ideation and enbrel and humira may as well. I surround myself with a spiritual practice and a few people understand. Olease alter the rating system? It is not relevant to the side effects which are atrocious, despite the medicine being effective. If it makes ya want to die, is that "effective"? M 56 17 years

 1  Ulcerative colitis Absolutely awful drug the side mental effects started after taking for 4 months and slowly continued to worsen to the point that I was nothing short of crazy Dangerous depression , suicidal ideation , horrible anxiety , daily panic attacks , memory problems. This drug should be banned until ignorant healthcare workers listen to their patients. This drug has possibly been the death of people through suicide. DON'T ignore the early signs of depression it could cost you your life. M 39 2 days

 1  U/C and A/S This drug induced what I would class as a severe from of bipolar disorder severe depression anxiety emotional instability panic attacks anger rage sadness memory issues ect a complete personality change. These symptoms creeped in slowly but worsened to the point that I was really struggling mentally in every aspect of life. It was almost like an out of body experience the way that drug effects your brain is dangerous It's like being in the driver's seat of a car that's completely out of control but your paralyzed unable to take the wheel and control of the situation. With hundreds of similar complaints from people all over internet it's about time doctors warned people of the physiological dangers of taking this drug prior to prescribing it or it could cost the patient their life. Since stopping this drug I have had zero psychological problems but I have been left with drug induced psoriasis all over my face and scalp. M 42 1 years

 1  Crohns Anxiety, panic Attacks, mood swings, suicidal thoughts, increased bowel movements, shortness of breath, rashes, hair loss Been off this horrible drug for about 4 months now and I'm still dealing with anxiety, panic attacks and shortness of breath. I went from 1 bathroom break to 20 and even sh* myself while walking on the street. I regret the day I decided to start on these drugs. I'm from Norway and here you get the meds for free. Can't even imagine how it would feel like to be broke as well because of this horrible drug. M 34 3 months

 1  Crohns I started getting cold toes right after taking the first shot but the doctor had not warned me about any side affects, then after 6 months the cold toes turned into neuropathy, which is a side effect of Humira. I stopped taking Humira but now it’s to late, I will have neuropathy the rest of my life and I am not diabetic!!! Stay away from this ridiculous priced drug. They should be ashamed charging that much money per shot!!! M 63 6 months

 4  Severe Crohns Disease Mild redness and burning at the injection site. Considering there is a black box warning on this drug, I was VERY reluctant to start my newly diagnosed teenager on this therapy. After she failed a trial of Imuran due to acute pancreatitis, I agreed to try Humira. I have to say she is doing and feeling extremely well, so far. Her daily stomach issues and generalized body pain have all but disappeared. I feel like I have my daughter back. She has noticed she starts to feel a bit crummy a few days before her injection is due. Her doctor added some labs to check her blood level of the drug before her next injection just to make sure it is at a therapeutic level. For now, this has made a huge difference in her quality of life which is the goal. F 16 6 weeks

 1  Psoriatic Arthritis I developed a rash almost immediately with the first injection. Then slowly the mood swings started, followed by anger and depression. I was so crazy I would cry on my bedroom floor and then rage the next minute. I had this anger I never felt before. F 36 3 months
