Side Effects for Simponi aria (golimumab)
After 1st infusion, I felt awful. Having suffered for PSA since the age of 20, the joint paint amongst other issues hit me like a Mack Truck. My immune system bottomed out, I ended up in the hospital due to facial palsy, extreme fatigue and just felt horrible. After being discharged from the hospital, I collapsed in the shower, felt very ill and off kilter, saw MD, and he did D-Dimer test, negative. Had blood work done a week later and I had Epstein Barr virus. It's has destroyed my body. Since taking it in April I have had no energy, barely able to put one foot in front of the other, most days. I could go on and on, but enough has been said. Simply no good for me and now, I am paying dearly for it with declined health!
Persistent sinus & upper respiratory infection, coughing to the point of passing out, dry eyes, dry mouth, aching parotid salivary glands, loss of smell.
Do not take this!! I was almost dead in 9 months from it and the doctors wouldn't listen so I went off of it without telling them and gradually the upper respiratory issues subsided. I am left with permanent loss of smell and taste, I cannot produce tears or saliva, persistent cough, throat irritation and so much more. If you don't want your life ruined, don't take Simponi. Evil stuff!!
Worst drug I ever took. I have never had suicidal ideation but this was horrible. I couldn’t control the thoughts and thankfully stopped the drug and the thoughts stopped.
First infusion of Simponi Aria dosed by weight(115 ib). 3 wks post infusion developed stroke level BP and tachychardia. Also had daily sinus headache, menopausal like hot flashes and extreme fatigue. Cardiac workup, Echo and Nuclear Stress test showed no congestive heart failure or heart blockages. I wore a holter monitor for 30 days which showed irregular arrythmia for which I'm now on medication and a second medication for elevated BP. Had no cardiac issues before this infusion.I've had RA for over 20 years and this is the sickest I've ever been with it. At about 2/12 months post infusion, I finally began to feel as well as I felt the day I went in for the infusion.
Almost killed me. It started with not feeling right, loosing weight due to loss of appetite, fatigued, tripping over, sore throat.eventually it put me in ICU for 10 days and 10 weeks in hospital. Rapid lost of weight, throat issues, loss of muscle, loss of energy, developed high blood pressure, afib,loss of motor function, brain swelling, end up with tube feed and drug induced Lupus. Still recovering and has been 6 mos.
SIMPONI ARIA (GOLIMUMAB): This medication is used to treat certain types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid, psoriatic, ankylosing spondylitis). Golimumab belongs to a class of drugs known as TNF blockers. It works by blocking a protein (tumor necrosis factor - TNF) in your body's immune system that causes joint swelling and damage. Golimumab helps slow joint damage and reduce joint pain/swelling so you can move better. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

In the past I had no issues with Allegra - took for over 10 years and it worked really well - but now taking the generic daily (180 mg) it has caused anxiety, anxiousness and resulting sleep loss. I would awaken at 1 am and feel wide awake and unable to lie still. After about 2.5 to 3 hours, I would finally be able to rest again. Made work and daytime activities very difficult. Didn't realize generic meds were causing problem until I realized that when I had forgotten to take it I did not have the issues. Zyrtec does not work as well for me, but I will need to find an alternative. Perhaps halfing the dose will work. This is not hypochondria folks, put your vodoo sticks away. This is reality for people who may have suffered from allergies all their life as I have. Flonase is wonderful, as is patanase. My doctor prescribed both when I had a severe sinus infection in the spring (also added prednisone). I have found some success in using patanase and zyrtec in combination. And now am happ
Obviously, every woman's body is different. However, I switched to amethia (a generic seasonique) from years of reclipisen. I had no side effects with the reclipisen other than a mild breakout during my period week. I asked my gyno if there was a way to prevent these breakouts and she put me on this. My acne was mild but annoying. The first three months of amethia nothing seemed to change, my acne stayed about the same. But then after about 5 months I had awful breakthrough bleeding and my skin was the worst it's been since my early teens. I'm also super depressed. I would think twice before taking this pill, especially if you want to treat your acne. As I said everyone is different but after I finish my 6th month I'm switching!
Worst feeling ever. Dr put warm blankets on me but it did not help nor did Benadryl. I was given Ativan which helped tremendously to stop the shivering and shaking.
Before taking this medication I was a complete wreck... Constantly angry, feeling out of contol, always tired, isolating myself from everone, zero sex drive and feeling like I was a horrible mother and couldn't do anything right. After 11 days on this medication I have energy in the morning, feel happy, close to fiance and baby, and in control. I finally feel normal! The minor side effects are so worth it!!
OUCH!!! too many side effects...I am so uncomfortable!!
I took one dose and 15 minutes later i felt dizzy and had chest pain and felt like my life was gonna slip away and die
achieve optimal cholesterol level
The first two weeks, the first two months, and the first six months, had the most pronounced noticeable side effects. Now after about 15 months I mostly suffer from memory loss and a "floating" emotional experience of life moment by moment. Otherwise I can say that effexor XR has most likely saved my life. But I can't wait to get off of it too, I am going to wait until i am back in sunny, happy CA for that.
This is the Devils drug! I've run out of my meds for 1 week last year and the side effects went from mild face numbness on day 2, to haliousinations, vomiting, complete out of body feeling, hearing voices and more by day 7! I had no clue what was going on, until I started searching the Internet. I had every side effect listed! I am currently trying to taper on my own because my Dr said there's no way to get off that he can help me with. No one told me these horrible side effects when I was prescribed this drug. I went down 2 mg 12 days ago, and it's been nothing but crazy! Crying for no reason, fell down the stairs because I'm so off balance, the whole spectrum! Oh, let's not forget the memory loss! It's absolutely horrible!
reasonable for me although still some flashbacks of traumatic incident
