Starting Rituxan Infusion - Experiences and Advice Needed

I'm about to start Rituxan on Monday. I've done infusions before, Remicade for 5 years and Simponi for a few months so I'm not a stranger to this kind of medication or anything but it has been a while and I'm anxious about it. Especially having to be in a small room with others while getting the infusion during Covid... I'm also wondering if I'll have any effects right after, like an infusion hangover. Remicade used to make me really tired. Does anyone take this med or have experiences or advice to share? I'll take whatever you got
