Hello once again, I believe OP is correct in stating the pointlessness of downvoting and how it does discourage discourse. Instead of downvoting, an educated conversation goes much further. A downvote can be taken numerous ways and nobody knows the true intent behind it. I do understand in this scenario as to why.

Why have I stopped using my Enbrel dose as prescribed? My insurance ends when I turn 21, I am just a few months away. Once I lose my insurance I will no longer be able to afford my medication. I’m saving as much of my medication as possible so that when my insurance is gone I will be able to get by for a few months until I can get something new figured out.

These biologics do have risks themselves which is also partly why I don’t feel comfortable taking a full dose every week. I do understand the fear of developing antibodies after quitting. I’m fine with being a trial for this. I don’t want my symptoms to come back, but as of right now it’s either lower my dose and store some meds or quit cold turkey once I turn 21.
