Ulcerative colitis - worried about medications

Good evening. I have UC for 18 plus years. Took numerous medications from remicade to Stelara currently on Xeljanz 10 mg twice daily. Which worked very good. Unfortunately my insurance made me go down to Xeljanz 11 mg ER. After a few weeks I am back in a flare. So back to prednisone and Xeljanz 10 mg twice daily. Drs are concerned that I might not have the same response that I originally had with the Xeljanz. Has anyone experience the same thing? Thanks

@jjob73, welcome. I moved your question to this existing discussion about UC:
- Ulcerative colitis - worried about medications https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ulcerated-colitis/

I did this so you can easily connect with fellow members like @mauionmymind @dval @ejlouboutin16 @baz10 @ssin20 @johnson53rl who are dealing with ulcerative colitis and talking about medications. I'll also tag @trying1975 @candrgonzalez who have experience with autoimmune conditions and taking Xeljanz (tofacitinib).

Did your doctors explain why they think your response to Xeljanz (tofacitinib) may not be as good this time?
