I started taking it late afternoon and worked to evening, but the side effect of insomnia and inability to get comfortable are extreme. Would it help to take it in the morning? I don’t want to go through the several day process of moving to the morning if others have tried it and seen no change. Since it is the extended release, I wonder if it even matters.
I just started Xeljanz XR. What time of day do you take it?

I take mine at night time with other medication I have been taking it since August 1, no issues so far.

I take it at night with my other medications. I don't think I've noticed any difficulties falling to sleep... at least no more than usual. But I do take a sleep aid.

Hi, I take the Xeljanz XR at 4 am in the morning. I've not heard of side effects of insomnia. I have no side effects of taking it at this hour.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate you. I’m going to transition to taking it in the morning.
