Humira and anxiety

[carey]

Has anyone had an episode of anxiety while on humira? If so what made it better? I noticed when I went to church today I could barely sit still and couldn't wait to get out, this has never happened to me before

Just going to give this thread a friendly bump to see if we can get you some responses.

Are you still taking prednisone? I know I had some really bad bouts with anxiety while on prednisone. Can't say it has been a problem with just Humira. This is not to say it is not possible.

I do get anxiety + depression or I call it I become crazy on the first day I take Humira

Not on prednisone anymore, I refuse to take it, I get all the lovely crazy side effects, claustrophobia, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, mood swings, so I told my doc to never put me on that stuff again, I really don't like feeling like a crazy person!

Carey, Ive had all that happen to me as well. I am going through it now. I've flared after 3 years on Remicade. I take 40MG prednisone and have been up since 1AM. Its hard to be around people. I am not my self. We will get through this. Take care.

If you google Humira and anxiety there is a lot of people asking the same question. Makes one think this is a problem with the use of Humira. I would tell your doctor about this.

I don't know where my "anxiety" comes from - I overreact(ed) to minor situations. I attributed it to age.

Whatever seems to be the cause, ask about Celexa when it comes to drugs. There is an initial increase in anxiety, but then it evened out. I am still me, still have ups and downs, but I do not overreact to slight changes or surprises. Has a not too good track record with young people b/c of suicidal thoughts. I'm older, had no such reaction.

Well i just started Humira and i do have sky high level anxiety and I'm on 40mg daily of Prednesone since June....so I cant tell you that I notice no change. but then again its only my second day with Humira.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Did the starting 4 doses last week and felt very anxious the next day or two for no reason at all. Felt like I was going insane...
