I have tried it twice both times did not work for me. The side effects were not good and the second time made my liver go high.

I was on Arava (Leflunomide) and had to stop taking it due to impact on Liver. I now only use Humira weekly which seems to be working.

Iā€™m also on Rinvoq and loving it. Along with Plaquenil and methotrexate. Tried Humira, Enbrel and Orencia. They each worked for ~ 5 years and then stopped working. Fingers crossed I get 5 years out of Rinvoq

It did help but didn't like hair loss so I switched to Rinvoq (high risk med which I don't like) but without it, I'm not functional.

It made me feel psychotic. Stays in your system for years. Because of my experience I wouldn't rec. but if it helps you and/or others God bless you.
