Upadacitinib plus metho

[Madmusiclover]

Has anyone here added in metho to Rinvoq to increase effectiveness of Rinvoq? Did it work? How long did it take if it did? Just interested. I know I have to wait 12 weeks for ‘trial’ to be over. Thanks.

I take both . I’ve always been on mtx . I was told MTX helps biologics do their job more effectively and can stop the biologic from not working .

Thanks. Started on Upad only. It was working a bit. Not been great on metho in the past, but trying 10mg.

I’m on 10mg as maintenance dose. I can’t tolerate anything higher . Good luck

Hi Madmusiclover, I started Rinvoq about 5 weeks ago and I take 10mg of methotrexate once a week. I just wondered if you had any side effects from the Rinvoq. Since starting I have felt quite nauseous and my stomach is not happy. I’ve taken omeprozole but this has not helped at all. I’ve been on methotrexate for 18 months so I don’t think it’s that.

no side effects at all but equally it’s not working. We are all different.
