I started using Dupixent a few months ago for my severe eczema, and it's been a game-changer. However, I've been experiencing some worrying side effects, and I'm not sure if I should continue. I've had a persistent rash and some trouble breathing, which the description says could indicate an allergic reaction. But I'm terrified of stopping it because my eczema was so bad. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? I'd appreciate any advice or similar experiences.

I had this too, I think it's worth it for me to stick with it. But if you are experiencing these symptoms you should definitely call your doctor! That's what I did and they were pretty helpful.

I had to stop using Dupixent because I developed shingles. It was awful, and I wish I had known about this potential side effect before starting the treatment. It was so severe that I had to be hospitalized. I'd recommend discussing the risks thoroughly with your doctor.

I've had a few episodes of dizziness and fainting. I thought I could handle it, but it's getting worse. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it. I was thinking about stopping, but it's so effective that I'm reluctant to give it up.

I've been on Dupixent for a year now, and it's been a godsend for my asthma. I've had some mild side effects like a slight rash and eye irritation, but nothing severe. If you're experiencing trouble breathing, it's definitely worth talking to your doctor.

I had to switch to a different medication because I had persistent herpes infections. Be careful and monitor your symptoms closely.

I've been on Dupixent for a few months and have had no side effects so far. Has anyone experienced joint pain or trouble walking? My mom has been having some issues with it and we're not sure if it's related.

I had a severe reaction to Dupixent. My throat swelled up and I had to go to the ER. It was terrifying, and I'll never use it again.

I remember that I had some trouble sleeping at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Just stick with it and you might adjust to it.

If you're experiencing serious symptoms, go to the ER or call your doctor immediately! Dupixent can have scary side effects.

I had a few side effects but nothing serious and nothing life-threatening. There is no reason in most cases to stop the medication since there is no pain.
