I used Xeljanz for about 11/2 years. I had no side effects. It just stopped working. Hope things get better. Soft hugs

The main fatigue comes from the disease itself, even when someone is not on medication, the fatigue is still there. Vera

Hi there Stacey,
I am on a boatload of medicines too! However, xeljanz is the only new one. So that is why I think it may be that medicine, the others I have been on for a long time. My therapist thinks I am depressed. I went to a psychiatrist on Friday. He prescribed Wellbutrin for me which I started on Friday.. I think I AM depressed more than I was. However, I don't think that is why I am so exhausted all the time and sleeping so much. Maybe it is, but I want to rule out the xeljanz. I hope that helped you. hugs tia

I am on xeljanz and with surgeries I have had in past years, can't tell whether pain is from interrupted taking of xeljanz due to durgeries or just the RA sneaking through.
