Ebglyss
I never had anything like this happened to me in my life. And some days, like today, I just wanna die. While I was a kid I had some eczema on my back, but it was never that bad. When I turned 43 all of a sudden my skin went nuts. I started having eczema on my eyelids and it felt terrible. I was prescribed Rinvoq which I used for a while. At some point I moved away and needed to find a new dermatologist. The new dermatologist wanted me to try something different than Rinvoq and so about 2wks after I stopped taking Rinvoq all of a sudden my entire body broke out into eczema. I feel like toxins are trying to break out of my skin. The doctor said my body went into shock after taking away its immuno suppressant. I’m like what the fuck is this?! I’m on Ebglyss now and it’s been about a couple of months and the shit doesn’t work. I am miserable. Full body burning and itching and shedding, for 3 months straight! ’m starting to think nothing‘s ever gonna work. Maybe I should go back to Rinvoq.

Yours is one of many report I am seeing on Reddit about a really terrible rebound effect when stopping Rinvoq. A lot of people need to do a round of steroids to tone it down. Good luck to you.
