On the advice of my doctor I have stopped the imbruvica. Has anyone experience any side effects from stopping that medication?
After 3 days , I experienced a itchy , painful red rash on my arms , elbows and hands.
I have never taken Imbruvica but I hope you get better

Petechiae are tiny, flat, round red, purple, or brown spots, typically smaller than 2 mm 2mm, that appear on the skin or mucous membranes due to bleeding from broken capillaries. They do not itch, cause pain, or turn white (blanch) when pressed. I know my rash was very itchy but not painful but I had to scratch that itch. Those bad cells to attack nerve cells including the brain. In the summer when it is hot I cooled my skin to reduce the itch with a fan.
Have you experienced side effects after stopping Imbruvica?
It's important to contact your doctor right away about the itchy, painful red rash you're experiencing. While rash is actually a known side effect of taking Imbruvica, any new symptoms after stopping a medication should be evaluated by your healthcare team.
Thank you Lonnie. I no longer have side effects from stopping imbruvica . I hope you are well.
