Can Enbrel cause weight gain, mood swings and loss of sex drive?

From what I understand RA alone causes a lot of those symptoms. Before I was put on Humira-then Enbrel I was a moody ice queen that didn't want to do anything but sleep on the couch and devour every cheeseburger and scoop of ice cream within 2 miles of my house. I've slowly seen that person go away and bits of my regular self have been peeping out now and again. Thankfully! Hope this helps and you start feeling yourself again soon.

I'm in my 9th week with Enbrel and am noticing I feel more depressed and fatigued the longer I take it....besides the consistently sore throat and sinus drainage...which could be part allergies, but seems magnified this year.     I actually noticed no noticeable difference in tiredness or mood until around the 7th week.  Like you, I'm hoping it will only get better, but I'm calling my doctor Monday .  This is beginning to feel like no way to conduct a life.   I'm seldom my happy self anymore.

They started me off with methotrexate and prednisone. Then they took me off of the prednisone and put me on enbrel. It was then that I really started to notice the weight gain. At first I blammed it on the prednisone, but now I'm feeling like it's the enbrel. No matter what I eat or how much I exercise it WILL NOT come off.

I have been using enbrel for about four years now.  I noticed almost right away that I was gainning weight.  I told my dr. and she said I am probibly eating to much. I cut back on my eating habbits, and started working out every day, and in the past three months I started walking two miles a day on top of my workouts. In three years I have lost one inch In my waist, and one inch in my hips. With all that, I am so tired all the time, and I still am very fatigued.

I have been on Enbrel for about 1 year. It has helped with alot of my RA discomfort.  But it seems latley I have been having very extreme mood swings, just not myself.  I always chalk it up to PMS, but there is no way I have PMS every week of the month.  I have not been eating more and sex drive is down. Sometimes I think it is all in my head and I should be able to control it.  i am going to do some extensive research on the side effects of Enbrel and I will get back to you.
