Rinvoq
I just want to share my experience with rinvoq. I have had eczema since i was 3 and i am 28 right now.
I started rinvoq back in 2022 with a 15mg dose. It cleared up my skin for about 6 months and then i started getting small flares.
In 2025 i increased my dose to 30mg. I noticed a slight improvement but my flares were still there. I have now decided to stop rinvoq (april 2026) and it’s been 5 days.
The reason why i am stopping is because i have gained 20 pounds, it has increased my cholesterol levels, i get sick very often, it’s hard to build muscle even though i train frequently, it’s lost efficacy, and i have now decided to treat my eczema by focusing on my gut health and a whole food diet.
The rebound effect is HELL. Ever since i stopped rinvoq my skin has become worse than what it was when i first started rinvoq. I am oozing, flaring, shivering, and experiencing zingers all over my body. I have insomnia and have been sleeping 30 mins a day for the last 4 days.
If you are reading this, i strongly advise you not to use rinvoq. If you have eczema, i suggest you do your research on gut health and diet. A lot of people have cleared their skin by eating clean and i am hoping i will be one of those people soon.
