A member asked:
Is it okay to stop taking enbrel (etanercept)? i haven't injected in about 6 weeks and my psoriatic arthritis symptoms haven't returned. is remission conceivable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Remission can happen and I do see occasional patients who seemingly can do well off of tnf agents, at least for a period of time. I agree completely that you need to discuss all of this with prescribing physician.
