Does anyone have Rinvoq experience?

My doctor would like to have me try Rinvoq. Does anyone have any experience with this? It was just FDA approved in August and that scares me a little. I have taken Remicade, Arava, Humeria, and Methotrexate in the past - and had to stop all of them due to health issues caused by each of them. Though, the Remicade was a miracle drug up until I could no longer tolerate it. Through all this, I have been on Plaquenil for the last 16 years. It has been one of the best working DMARDs I have taken, but seems to be loosing it's effectiveness. The doc wanted me to initially try Otezla since I have psoriatic arthritis, but the depression side effect concerns me.

Thanks for the quick reply. Having only been approved and out for a few months, I can't find any reviews online about it. Hoped someone here has been on it to give first impressions. I will likely proceed with trying it as the last few months have been miserable for me.
Sorry to hear Remicade stopped for you as well. The first 16 months on it, I was in hog-heaven (except for having to do the IV with small veins, lol). The last few were non-stop infections and I was starting to have reactions during the infusions. Such a shame.

Hi Don, Rinvoq is a daily pill. According to the nurse ambassador I spoke to, it's very sensitive and needs to be taken pretty much at the same time daily and kept in the original bottle as it's can't tolerate moisture. I will definitely post my feedback once I've been on it for a while. I started it Christmas Eve last week and so far, so good. I'm doing better than I have in quite a while already, BUT the weather here cleared up and warmed up considerably a few days ago. So, true effectiveness TBD. One thing however, I have been having some digestive distress and not sure if it's the med or something else.If it is the med, is it a temporary thing or constant. I will be doing some research tonight and calling my doc and the ambassador tomorrow.
If you can tolerate steroids and benedryl, you might be okay with Remicade. I can't tolerate either and they say that is partly why I eventually started having reactions during the infusions. They give you both before the infusion and I started refusing them because i could not function for days after and I had 2 babies and a job at the time. Also, if you take Methotrexate or Arava with it (if you can tolerate), that also seems to boost the effects. I was feeling awesome otherwise after my 2nd ramp-up infusion.
