Been on Xeljanz for awhile now and for me it is working fantastic, better than anything I have used before.
I'm on 10 mg twice a day.
My weight is about what it has always been 170 lb and my metabolism is great and I might add that I am 78 years young.

My husband has been on it three years and hasn't noticed anything one way or the other.

So interesting to see all this stuff about Xeljanz now, I never saw anybody mention it a couple years back. It's kind of reassuring that these new drugs are coming out, you wonder where things will be in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years etc.
