Hello,
I was wanting to know if anyone has experienced a puffy face from taking Xeljanz. Been on it for 5 weeks now and just staring to fell better , however, the last 3 days I have fluid retention under my left eye. Looks like it's filled with water. I was hoping it would just go away. I had problems with Enbrel, Humira, Actmera, MTX. I was on Simponi Aria for 3 years but not working very well in the end. Dr wanted to change meds so he put me on Xeljanz. Going to call pfizer to see what or if any feedback regarding this side-effect. Thanks so much

Hello BesICan, welcome aboard!!

I hadn’t heard of puffy face from Xeljanz but others may have. I was on Xeljanz for about 7 months and I
Ended up in the emergency with Sepsis from it. I was on Prednisone for 13 years and did get a puffy face(mom face) from it and extended belly also the last 3 years of it., You didn’t mention Prednisone though.

Hopefully you will lose your side effects soon. Good luck!
