I'm not on it now, but I was for 8+ years.
It seemed to work better the longer I was on it, almost like it builds up in your system over time. Most of the time I was getting Remicade every 8 weeks. Occasionally I'd have to increase the dose frequency to every 7 or 6 weeks for a while.
For the first 2 or 3 years I was on 500mg every 8 weeks. I had a flare up and they upped me to 1000mg every 8 weeks.
I did great on that for 8+ years, but ended up switching to Humira for an unrelated issue.
Overall, other than the one flare up, I had a lot of symptom free days on the Remicade. It really pulled me out of a bad place and got my Crohn's stabilized. I hope it works as well for you. It was my miracle drug!
