Any experiences with Kevzara (sarilumab)?

Is anybody off Kevzara?

After tapering off of Prednisone, how long were you on Kevzara before stopping Kevzara?

Was getting off Kevzara a “cold turkey” event or was it a “taper” off event?

@stonewheel
Started Kevzara March 2025 @ abt 8 mg prednisone.
Off all prednisone by 7/15/2025
11/5/2025 chged Kevzara to every 3 weeks because of low WBC.
Jan 2026, blood work normal, stayed at Kevzara 3 week intervals.
Last Kevzara shot 2/22/2026…….stopped cold and no side effects.
Note: I was not, and am not, on any other medications for any other conditions .

I am now 2 months since last shot, blood work shows elevated CRP (10.8). I am not feeling it, 🤞, Dr wants me to restart Kevzara, I’m asking to retest in another 2 months. Wait and see, if a problem reach out to him. Note, I have not heard back yet. 🤞
