I took xeljanz 5mg 2x's a day started working aprox 6 weeks.. worked wonderfully for over a year sometimes i needed a motrin with it, had to stop recently last couple of months too many flare ups so i'm trying Orencia now just received my first infusion...
(Xeljanz was the best RA drug i've taken so far - no side affects for me and didn't give it up immediately but the flare ups were really BAD.. Good Luck
