I've been on Rinvoq since last summer and I delayed getting on it for that very reason. Reading the risks was really not making me feel well, after I've already taken multiple other medications. The worst part is, that it doesn't work as perfectly as some previous meds have. But at least I can enjoy eating out occasionally again without much worry and can travel again. That quality of life improvement puts it into a slightly better perspective again.
I am probably sensitive because my mom passed away due to stroke prior to my wife being on Rinvoq but that was a bigger concern for me when my wife went on it. Learn to identify stroke symptoms.
