Experiences with

Tofacitinib

hi What is a good antidepressant when taking methotrexate and Tofacitinib. Any advice would be lovely and what to expect with side effects would be helpful.

Hi, just wondered if anyone has tried Tofacitinib for calcinosis? I have posted before re very large calcium deposits but it seems quite rare to have the large deposits I have 🥴

Is anyone here on these tablets? I just started yesterday took 1 10mg tablet last night and then another this morning. I've to take 2 a day but I feel horrendous really dizzy and light headed

I have been offered Tofacitinib (not licensed for SSc) to possibly help reduce/stop the calcinosis but very unsure of the side effects as not strong enough evidence of this meds working but after trying other things, this is the next option. Thanks in advance for any help 😊

I also need to stop my methotrexate injections because im moving onto tofacitinib. This is my last option before surgery and getting my colon out. Has anyone any experience of tofacitinib for all 3 conditions thanks

Anyone taking Tofacitinib? Just wondered what people’s experiences are. I had been self injecting Imraldi for 6 months which did nothing to relieve my symptoms. New meds definitely working well so far.

The only treatment that worked well for this was tofacitinib, but unfortunately it caused me massive multiple blood clots in the lungs and had to be stopped. The blood clots have gone away and I was switched to rituximab. I took the second infusion on May 27th., 2021.

I tried a reputable Turkish doctor for tofacitinib but I was blocked because it needed to sign and be approved by the manufacturer as me having bone cancer. Off label for was forbidden!

I have Sero Positive RA for 46 years and been through all the treatments, now biologics not working, so starting a Jak Inhibitor Tofacitinib. I would like to hear from other members who are or have taken this drug

I'd be very interested to hear others' experience (especially over-65s) of taking Tofacitinib. I only managed 12 days before stopping taking it. Admittedly I was apprehensive, but I don't know if my reaction to the drug was side effects or anxiety - or both.

Hi all just wanted to know if anyone has experience of being on Barasitinib as my rheumy nurse phoned up and said they are trying me on this instead of Tofacitinib and it worries me why they have changed it as I felt I dont really want to take any of these because of the side effects I am already taking

I have just joined this forum and wondered if any one has had basal cell skin cancer as a side effect of the above drug, If so how was it proved that it was due to medication rather than sun damage? Thanks.
