Dark spots on my cheeks, NO libido, 10-15 lb weight gain
looking for alternatives. would not recommend.
I recently stopped taking Humira. I would NOT recommend any biologic drugs to anyone. Humira is not called a chemo drug, despite that being what it is. Targeting, killing and modifying cells in our bodies is the very way that it is designed to work. These biologic drugs wage chemo warfare in our bodies, and the side effects and issues these drugs cause is because our bodies are fighting to get rid of the invader, which is the drug itself. No drug will save your life because we are human. We are not meant to live forever. Stay away from the -mabs and all the other biologic drugs. Live every day of your life like it is your last.
My daughter is 4yrs old and a chemo patient and after taking this she because real fearful, restless legs and arms moving all different ways. Heart rate was real tacky. Never again...using atarax now.
This is the worse medication I have even taken. I tried to stick it out because I want to be clear from the candida but will have to look at other methods. My symptom were so bad a went to the ER before I figured out it was this crap. Getting some relief from symptoms a couple days later but stomach pain is still there. I will never take this again and do not recommend any human being taking this.

I'm 5'6 and I weighed about 130 pounds when I started Depakote ER (500 mg/day). After being on it only a month I had gained 10 pounds. I was constantly hungry. I also have very thick hair and it started falling out in small clumps. I have headaches every day which my neurologist says are some kind of migraine and out of the 30 days I was on Depakote, I still had a headache for 25 of them. I am switching to Topamax, hope it works!
Tightness and pain in chest. Thought it was a heart attack and ended up in the hospital for tests which found no problems.
