Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi all - I've lost track of just how many drugs I've tried, but my Rheumy now wants me to consider Orencia. I was on Enbrel & it worked great WHEN I could actually take it. I haven't been able to stay on it for more than 2 weeks at a time without getting some type of infection. So my Dr thinks Orencia will be better with that. I always get so nervous when trying a new drug. I haven't had experiences so far with side effects & allergic reactions. Enbrel seems to be the only drug so far that has worked. Anybody have experience with Orencia? I'm just waiting for my insurance to go through, but will probably start my 1st dose next month. I've been reading that it makes you really tired & nauseous for a day or two & with 3 young kids, that worries me. I couldn't tolerate MTX at all for that reason. How is it compared to mtx? Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
