A member asked:

I have been taking humira (adalimumab) 40 mg every two weeks for six weeks. my ra is much better. i get nausea, dizziness and fatigue that last for 48 hours after the injection. will these symptoms dissipate over time?

See details: These are relatively unusual symptoms but they have been rarely reported to occur with these meds. I would give Humira (adalimumab) some additional time. However, if they persist i would consider a switch to another tnf agent. They may occur with one agent but not with another.

See below: Perhaps if you talk to your rheumatologist he could switch you to a different medication similiar to Humira (adalimumab) but it may not cause the same side effects. They may get worse with time.

Hopefully: Glad to hear that your RA is much improved. The symptoms that you describe after Humira are very uncommon. I would hope that they will improve over time. If not, consider switching to another anti-tnf like enbrel, cimzia. Or simponi (golimumab).
