Side Effects For Humira (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I just started Humira in the last 2 weeks and I feel like my allergies are going nuts. My whole body is swelling. After reading some of your side effects this is somewhat normal. Does the swelling of legs, face, etc. go away? I went to the general practitioner to get something for my allergies. She seems to think its my body reacting to the Humira.

REPORT

Has anyone heard of temporal lobe seizures as a side effect of humira or adalimumab? My daughter is taking Humira for Crohn's and it works but she has begun experiencing TLS. Looking for anyone else who may have had this experience.

Hi there: As many of you seem to be worried about the side effects. Yes, when you read abt. them you think I'm not taking that. However I have been on Humira for abt..4yrs now and now side effects. However like any of you who first read abt. them it scares you off. It did this to me as well. With any medication there are side effects. This is no different then the Humira, they have to cover themselves but check and see how many people have actually got a side effect compared to those who haven't. With that said, I leave it up to you! You are never forced to take something you do not want. Take care, and if you don't take the Humira I hope whatever is given to you works for you. Best Wishes.

I thought just like you and had a home run with Humira and prior to it with Enbrel.
Now it looks like I may have skin cancer and I never abused sun in my life. My only mole on my body started growing and changed color! I don't have diagnosis yet! But it does not look good. Side effect Warnings are real! I am getting off it.

I took humira and now I am dealing with blisters on my hands feet and legs and now I psoriasis over the rest of my body. My dr said it was the worse case of psoriasis he has seen. I also have nerve damage from my hand and feet. Just in you r wondering I wasn't taking it for psoriasis. I now have home care coming in everyday to take care of because the drug humira has made me so sick I can't take care of myself. The drug is a killer don't take it. Honestly it's not worth the chance.

I've been on HUMIRA AND INTALIPIDS AT ARGC for fertility . I wish I never took the damn thing cause now my periods have stopped and I'm in early menopause because of it. The I got sick whist on it with one infection after another . I challenged the Doc at ARGC and he was abrupt and told me "impossible "when he didn't listen to me that I am actually having these side effects . They will deny all ,so all you women out there who desperately want a child DONT BE FOOLED INTO THIS HUMIRA IMMUNITY STUFF FROM ARGC I WASTED 5 k WITH THESE GUYS AND MY IMMINUTY NEVER CHANGED SO THEY WANTED TO DO A CYCLE OF IVF ANYWAY!
I TOLD THEM TO GO TO HELL AS THEY WASTED A WHOLE YEAR OF MY FERTILITY AT 42-43 NOW MY PERIODS HAVE STOPPED AND I CANT GET ANY EGGS NOW TO DO A CYCLE . They are CRIMMINAL PEOPLE .
THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY FROM YOUR DESPERACY SND MAKE YOU BELIEVE YOU MUST DO THIS IMMUMITY THING . ALSO NOT TO MENTION THE TERRIBLE SERVICE .
HUMIRA is not a safe drug it messes with your body if not immediate it will later on and with your menopause you will have loads of problems . The risk is not worth it !

Re: Paul (# 8)
I had so many side effects after two months, I had to stop using Humira. Slowly, the effects went away. At the time, I spoke with a Humira rep and described my side effects - she suggested I stop further use and speak to my doctor. I did and I no longer take the drug. I was looking for relief and all I got was increased pain and various side effects that were not there prior to taking the drug.

Re: MIC (# 2)

I know this was awhile ago MIC but your anxiety might be from the steroids they gave you for the swelling. One steroid injection of long acting kenalog (for arthritis flare) gave me panic disorder. I was a mess, seemed to just fry my nervous system. So I know how you feel and hope you feel better by now.

Hello, Mic! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.

That could be the sign of an allergic reaction to it. It should go away, in a few weeks, however, it most likely means that you shouldn't continue with Humira, as such reactions tend to worsen with repeated exposure.

Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include dizziness, joint aches, headache, confusion and arthritis.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Ok so I finally got into the dr. It looks like I am reacting to all of the TNF inhibitors. Has anyone else had this problem? The dr. said that the half life is another month. Every other day I am having the anaphalaxic epidoses. I am taking Benedryl all day and just finished a steroid pack. Sheez louise, this is CRAZY!!!!! I am sure I am not the only one who has had reactions to this class am I?

Honestly I have been left with horrible anxiety from the anaphylaxis episodes from Humira. I have lost a ton of hair, gained weight, and more. This is from only from my very FIRST injection. I just wonder why some people that get the injections can get major side effects and then some don't get any.

Our livers all filter differently. I have so many allergies to medications, supplements I will not take Humira I have decided as pain under control. Just no bending or lifting.

Cancers including lymphoma, new or worsening heart disease, TB etc etc.
I'm also allergic to Latex & that should be a deal breaker but no Dr pushing the drug.
I'm riddled with auto immune diseases so pretty sure I should not be a candidate.

I'm about to start injections for psoriasis and have been so nervous. But am suffering so badly that I am hopeful this will help. I scratch my head and it bleeds just like you were talking about. It hurts and I'm so self conscious now that my lifestyle has changed for the worst. Your post gave me more hope!

I have recrently been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, my doctor is convinced that humira is the best option for treatment. To tell you the truth, I am terrified to use it. All the side effects just don't seem worth it. Any suggestions?
