I saw on this thread last week someone who quit all meds except pain medication. I am thinking about the same. Last week I was prescribed Xlejanz (sp) and I don't like how I feel. I came home from work last night and slept 12 straight hours. I have tried so many meds and biologics. I am losing hope for any medication to actually help. Any advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It sounds like you have tried a lot of treatments and still haven't found one that's right for you. That stinks and I am so sorry you are in that situation. Have you shared how you are feeling with your doctor? Has he/she been receptive to your concerns?
Please know you are not alone in any of this. Many of our members can relate to feeling tired of trying medications that don't seem to work.
Should you choose to cease using your medications, keep in mind that some medications may require "stair stepping" down and not going "cold turkey".
I am so glad you reached out here and I hope you get some helpful feedback and encouragement from other community members.
And whichever path you choose, I hope it works for you and brings you some measure of relief.
Best, Erin, RheumatoidArthritis.net Team Member.

Hi
mkbutler39
Thanks for the reality check. I realize how far I've come on this journey. So much better than when I started. I will keep that in mind and be grateful for my doctors and my medicines and the benefits they have made to my health. Thanks again for letting me vent.
