I just started on Nemluvio 04OCT24.
I loved Dupixent, but breathing is not an option.

Hi Carrie ~ Congratulations on starting Dupixent! I hope it works wonderfully for you. For me when I was on it, it took only a couple weeks to notice a change in the itch and the healing to start too. From all I have heard from, there is a wide variety of response to the drug, some quickly, some it doesn't do anything, and me, it worked great, up until almost a year and it kind of like crossed my asthma and copd, I couldn't breath. After the second time, I stopped taking it, and thankfully no new responses of that since. My understanding is I am rare in that aspect too, as I have both. The medicine is great for people with asthma, and now they state copd... but not both. I wish I could have stayed on dupixent. Best wishes on a great response for Dupixent!

Dupilumab (Dupixent) typically requires consistent use for two months to start seeing results. For maximum benefit, it should be taken for at least four months. Keep in mind that people with certain underlying conditions, like atopic dermatitis, may need to take it longer to see results. Always discuss your treatment plan Show Full Answer

Stay patient and hopeful!

Sorry to hear it stopped working for you. Can I ask what you take to treat everything now?

Yes ~ For some reason it like crossed the 2, and I could not get air in or out, it just closed! Asthma by itself there is usually warning wheezing, short of breath. COPD, I choke, can't get air out. That's why I said it kind of like crossed them. They say dupixent is for people with asthma as a treatment, they now say it's for people with COPD... I do not hear or read anything about having both. Most medicine for one or the other has warnings if you have the other.
If you only have asthma, I think you'll be fine with it, going by what I've read n heard. Some people take dupixent for asthma.
