I have been taking humira for over a year and started developing panic attacks after taking it for about four or five months. I continued to take it because my gi recommended it. I even went to the ER once for fainting. I think they said my potassium was slightly elevated but kidney function and everything else seemed normal. I decided to try to come off of it on my own since I felt like I couldn't tolerate such bad side effects. Shortly after discontinuing the humira I noticed frequent urination. The frequency lessened significantly the longer I stayed off humira. I also developed a rash on my hands, feet, and chest. It also improved but not gone away completely.
After about six months of no humira I noticed some mild blood on the tissue. I then took a single dose that I had kept from being on it previously. The bleeding stopped. However a couple of days after the shot the panic attacks started again. I have been also dealing with frequent urination again which make me worried about my kidneys. Does anybody think this is a drug induced lupus? I have searched and found that to be one of the few things that seem to match my side effects while on humira. Following up with GI at the end of the month about trying something different. I am scared of trying another tnf blocker with all of these worrisome side effects.
