Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Yes, I've been on Enbrel for 8 years now and my body stops responding to a dose after so many years. Try increasing the dose just a little. I do it by making injections more frequent. Good luck! Janette Indiana USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 In my case with Remicade and Humira, 4-5 years of relief is about all you can expect as I've been told your body slowly builds up an immunity to the drug. Of course, different people get different results if they are lucky. Good luck with your next option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Giannis, Sorry, but yes it happens and is common. It sounds like it is time to switch to a new biologic drug. Best wishes and stay strong! -Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
