Severe weakness and fatigue with Kevzara?

Posted by sfink @sfink, Apr 17 3:34pm

I did a dumb thing. Went off anti depressants ( Welbutrin wasnt helping with depression and fatigue anyway) and started Kevzara about the same time, a little over one month ago. My fatigue weakness and dizziness have become overwhelming. Rheumy says it's not from Kevzara, yet the paperwork says it can cause this. I am not functioning on any level. Now headaches and diarhia. Went to regular doctor, lots of tests, and they dont know but suggest I go back on Welbuttin. Of course that will take weeks to kick in. Suggestions appreciated.

I found your post to be very interesting! I was diagnosed with PMR 5 years ago and GCA in October of 2025. I am going to have my 6th Actemra IV infusion this week. I am struggling with very weak legs, dizziness and headache 24/7, discomfort in one arm and the rib cage area, and diarrhea! My rheumatologist basically told me that weak legs, headache and dizziness are not his area of expertise and I should see neurology. The situation is quite depressing! Can anyone relate to what I have described or have suggestions or comments? Thanks!!
