I'm curious if anyone has gone from Humira to Remicade and if it worked for you? Humira has been doing nothing for me and they want to start me on Remicade next. Thanks for your replies.

Hey!  I had been on Remicade for over 3 yrs when my Dr wanted me to try Humaria - I tried it for over 8 weeks and it did not work - my Crohn's flared something awful!  I was put back on Remicade and started feeling better after one treatment - I was in remission after 2 treatment.  Mr Dr said that everyone he had switched to Humaria from Remicade he had to switch them back to Remicade.

Hope that helps!

I have been on remicade for four years now.  It gave me back my life.  I couldn't take any of the other medicines without having bad reactions.  I took dipentum and remicade for a while then the dipentum stopped working and I ended up in the hospital.  They put me on Lialda and remicade and I'm back to normal.

I did the opposite - went from Remicade to Humira. That's because I had been on remi for 6+ years and it started to lose effectiveness for me. The Humira doesn't work as well as the Remicade did (when it was still working), but it holds me pretty well. So, maybe going from Humira to Remicade will do wonders for you. I sure hope so!

niether of them have worked for me....ramicade did nothing..humeria might have worked but the side effects were bad enough to stop the injections.
