Anyone switch from tnf inhibitors to immunomodulators?

[Wilder]

Greetings!

Does anyone have experience switching from tnf inhibitors (humira, cimzia, remicade) to immunomodulators (6mp, azathioprine)? If so, have you been able to maintain remission? For how long?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I was on remicade then humira before starting methotrexate. I went in this order as I had bad reactions to aza and 6mp and was scared to try methotrexate so wanted to try something else. Methotrexate gave me around a year and a half of remission but I now have moved onto cimzia as it wasn't working on its own anymore. I have now been on cimzia for around 9 months and it is helping with some but not all symptoms.
Hope this helps a little bit
