I am taking Rinvoq, started off with 45mg i did ok on that and now I am taking 15mg. Now I keep having flair ups every other week and have gained 10 pounds. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what did they do ?? I go back to Dr. Next month.

When I researched patient experiences on rinvoq, I have seen comments about weight gain.
It can also increase the risk of blood clots, so natural blood thinners could be of use, though they can increase GI bleeding so do your research.
Why did your doctor lower your dose to 15 mg? Do you use any other drug? Do you have CD or UC? Where is the disease located? How severe? What other meds have you tried so far?
