Members responded to a question about what RA treatment options come next after Plaquenil, methotrexate, Humira, and Enbrel, sharing their own medication journeys and suggestions. Several members mentioned switching to JAK inhibitors like Rinvoq or Xeljanz, biologics like Orencia or Simponi Aria, and biosimilars like Inflectra, noting that each person responds differently and finding the right fit takes time. A recurring theme was the importance of working closely with a rheumatologist, doing research ahead of appointments, and checking with insurance before starting new medications.

Esther if I were in your shoes I would make an appointment with your Rheumatologist and discuss options with them. When Enbrel let Flares happen to me, my Rheumatologist wanted to switch me to Rinvoq. Ask about their opinion about it and or Xeljanz. There is something out there, you just have to discover it. Keep Hope!

Orencia, Rinvoq,Stelara I am on now. I have been on all that has been mentioned between you and me. They have all worked for 9 months or so and then I had to try something else. Good luck to everyone
