Will I experience the same side effects on a different biologic for PsA?
I recently came off Humira due to unwanted side effects. It was working so well for me for 4 months. I’m waiting for the side effects to go away before trying a different biologic. It could be 1-3 months. Two questions...
1. How long until symptoms return after stopping treatment?
2. Will I experience the same side effects on all biologics in the same family as Humira?

Hi
! I just came across your question. I know you posted this quite a while ago, but I wanted to check in and see how you are doing. Have you started on a new biologic? Was it difficult coming off the Humira? Sending lots of warm wishes your way! – Lori, Psoriatic-Arthritis.com, Team Member Hi Lori. Thanks for your message. I came off Humira in January. So reluctantly because it was working so well. About 6 weeks later I had a massive flare. I am now on Simponi. Have been for nearly 4 months and going well. To curb side effects in the mouth ( a definite weakness) I swish coconut oil first thing every morning for 10-15 mins. And I take Liv 52 to assist the liver. So far so good.
I am glad to hear it's helping you,
