I've taken Januvia for several months and have developed depression and other side effects. I stopped taking the drug and wonder how long before it is out of my system.

Januvia has a very short half-life, only 6 to 8 hours, this refers to the time it takes for the drug to reach 50% of its dosage in your body.

That said, it probably takes less than a day to be removed from your system. However, since you were taking it for several months and if you stopped taking it abruptly, you may also be experiencing some minor withdrawal symptoms, which could last for several days.
