How soon should Remicade start working?

For me, the results were nearly immediate. I know I slept thru that first night & was shocked. It really made me feel better right off- less urgency, less frequency, much less bm's & more solid. I believe most people do start to see noticeable results within 1 week- they say you really get the full therapeutic effect of Remicade after 4-6 infusions. Hope it works well for you!

In my case, the results were almost immediate. After several months of moderate bleeding which was continuing even with 60 mg prednisone a day, the morning after my first infusion the bleeding simply stopped. Of course, this could also have been because the prednisone was finally working, or because of the natural cycle of UC, or because of psychosomatic placebo effects... Like all aspects of UC, there is a huge variation in symptoms, progression and efficacy of treatment amongst different people, so any prediction of how a medication is going to work for a particular individual is really fraught with uncertainty. Good luck with it, though!

I didn't start to feel better until after my second infusion. Even then it was a slow process. It took a long while to get back to normal, but you will eventually get there! It even sounds like its working quicker for you!
