Anyone on Cimzia?

General Medications
1

I started Cimzia recently. Had the first double dose and it was Ok. I felt a bit more energy but the second double dose landed me at the clinic after 2 days of vomiting and nausea. I'm now on work leave for the week because of dehydration and exhaustion.

I'm in a very dark place right now. PsA fatique, not so good work environment and the meds "trials" are getting to me and I frankly have no idea who or where to tun to. Might the new meds make me feel depressed or do you think I should consult. If so, who? I've never had psychological concerns before. I feel odd and uneasy about the prospect. Anyone had weird thought while on Cimzia? How did you cope?

I was on Cimzia for a year and a half and had what I would call remission, feeling the best I had in years. (Also on MTX.) I got the flu at the end of 2014 and that knocked me into a BIG flare and I had to switch drugs. I am now on Remicade and experience what you are now with Cimzia. I require a lot of pre-medication to tolerate it. In the mean time, I did finally recognize that I have anxiety which really ratchets up when I'm worried about my health and whether or not the drugs are going to work. I have had good luck with biofeedback to control my anxiety.
