Dupixent -> Rinvoq -> Dupixent?

Hi all,

I’m considering going back to dupixent for the sake of my dermatologist being adamant about no pregnancy on Rinvoq.

For context, I have full body atopic dermatitis. I was on dupixent for roughly 6 years until it stopped working. I was then switched to Rinvoq. I’ve been on Rinvoq 30mg for almost 2.5 years.

I am getting married in October and we want kids. We have always practiced safe sex (condoms and I’m on birth control). But obviously if we want kids we no longer need those things. I had an appointment with my dermatologist today and she said absolutely do not take any chances of getting pregnant while on the Rinvoq. She also said if I wanted to, I could stop Rinvoq and immediately start dupixent again. I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this? I have a lot of worries. I have seen countless stories of stopping Rinvoq cold turkey being awful. I actually tried to do so myself last year. I barely made it 2 weeks.

Thank you for any insight. I am going to talk to my fiancé tonight.
