I always get headaches from Humira. I've been on it 4 months. I just take Excedrin Migraine for them (my doc said it was okay to do)

I have been on Humira for a year and I have had a migraine that has come and gone the entire week. My last Humira shot was on 4/18 so it started about 10 days after my shot - anyone else notice a pattern to the headaches? I just started keeping track to see if there was any ryhme or reason to them. I also wonder if it was sinus/allergy related as the weather here in NY has been crazy - 80 last week 35 this week.

Hi, I started Humira 2 weeks ago. On the initial 4 shots, I was so tired and had a headache that started exactly 24 hours after the shot and lasted for 2 days. Then the next injection which was 2 shots gave me a severe headache and my neck was on fire. Again with the same pattern as before. Can't wait to see what happens next Thursday.

I have been on Humira for 2 months. I have gotten a headache after every shot. The first dose of 4 gave me a severe headache and I was extremely tired. I'm now on 1 shot every 2 weeks and I don't get as tired.

FWIW, the documentation I got with Humira placed headaches as the number one side effect. I had them through the loading doses, but they seem to be dissipating as I move to the maintenance doses ..... at least I am crossing my finger that they are

I have been on Humira since January. Since then I get headaches once a week, usually few days after shot, that last about 24hrs. And even when I have taken something to make the ache better, I still feel like I had been out drinking and am hung over.
