I'm sorry if you weren't told this upfront.
When I started Dupixent last October, I was told that it would take weeks to see any benefits. Fast forward, I've seen great improvement for my esophagitis, bloodwork shows eosinophils all now in normal range, and CT showed inflammation in airway and lungs much improved.
Wanting immediate relief or improvement is understandable. Being patient is difficult.

For me, Dupixent started showing benefits soon after I started taking it. I guess we are all different in how soon (or slowly) we may see benefits.
Patience is important in any new treatment plan.

I start my dupixent in about a week. so I will follow up and say how it is going for me.

and I also was told it will take from 1-3 months for any significant improvement.

Dupixent has been great for me but we are all different. If the treating provider thinks it MAY help and it can he obtained at am affordable copay (in my case $0), it seems very worthwhile to give it a try. That’s why I tried it, plus the 3 exacerbations last year scared all of us.

Has anyone had negative effects with Dupixent. I’ve been on it about 10 weeks. No improvement. Just realized that my shortness of breath has really gotten worse - even hospitalized for first time. Then again for 2 days. A light bulb just went off. No idea if it’s related but again wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue. I’m due for another injection this weekend.

I have been on Dupixent for 8 weeks-Shots every other Week & at times I do feel I feel better but I notice it helps me also quitting Prednisone which I am down to 5mg every other week, But time will tell

I have been on my second round of Dupixent since 1/30/2025 after a long break as it seemed that I was not responding well the first round after 5 months. I feel so much better with significant decrease in chest congestion. .....anything is better than being on prednisone. It may take several months before you feel the effects. Just keep in close contact with your pulmo Dr and let him/her guide you through.

So I've been on Dupixent for just a month. My cough has improved!

I have been on Dupixent 4 months and I can't say I see a difference in my breathing.. Something I have been dealing with daily since I started using it is muscles aches and joint pain, body aches, chills, being unusually tired. I contacted the pharmacist at the Speciality Clinic I get it from and asked if what I am experiencing could be side effects. She said it could be as these are all possible side effects of Dupixent. We are going to hold off on my next injection and see if there is any difference.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced any side effects such as these from Dupixent? Or any side effects at all?

Thank you.

I just found out my co-pay for Dupixent will be $1150 per month. Heck I cannot afford that with my SS and small pension.

How is everyone paying for this expensive medicine??
Is there a place to try to get this medicine subsidized??
