Have you tried Remicade?

I have been on Remicade for 10 years. Recently stopped to see what would happen. Was good for 4 months until a couple days ago and am experiencing the flare of all flares. Wondering if I can go back to Remicade or something else. Anyone have a similar experience?

  1. Hi Briantschida! Hopefully some community members can chime in here. Have you checked in with your Rheumatologist about this? I can only share from my experience that many people on here discover a medication is not working for them because they're on it and it stops working. I would hope that because the Remicade had worked all the time you were on it, that it would work again! Was it your Doctor/Rheumy who suggested you go off the Remicade to see what happened? Either way, I'm very sorry you're in a flare. I hope it passes soon for you.

    1. I'm on Remicade and feel that its no longer as effective as it used to be so I asked my Rheumatologist about changing. She recommended Cosentyx and also advised that there was still a possibilibity of returning to Remicade but to bear in mind that it would not be like starting anew - it would most likely be at the level it is now...
