Re: Headaches and Enbrel | Arthritis Information

I was wondering if anybody who takes Enbrel gets headaches.  I've been noticing that my headaches seem to get worse.  That's the only new medicine that I have been on.  Thanks to anyone who answers me since I'm new to this site.  God Bless us all on this site.

    Dotti51dordale Hello,

I started about 3 weeks ago. Have not noticed anymore headaches, but I feel so much better maybe that is why.  I hope you get better soon.
I was on Enbrel for a year and didn't notice headaches.  I would have noticed because I just neve get a headache.  Hope you feel better soon and keep posting.  Lindy

i have been on enbrel for a couple months and have more headaches while on it. maybe we need to drink more water?

I was Enbrel for about 2 months and the doc pulled me off it b/c I was having frequent migraines. I am prone to migraines anyways, but typically I get one every 7-10 days. On Enbrel I was getting 4+ a week and they would last for anywhere between 5 and 12 hours on average.

I didnt have problems with Remicade as far as headaches, with Humira I do tend to get a migraine about 12-24 hrs after my injection but otherwise is works fairly well for me.

I tried Topamax to ward of migraines because I have a good friend that swears by it. I unfortunatly turned out to have some rare adverse effects from it and couldnt take it, but maybe it would be an option for you.

Hope this helps.
