We need to know a bit more about it.  How long have you had it?  Where abouts do you keep it?  What sort of compost is it in? Have you moved it lately? Is it in a draught? Is it getting enough light?  Have you overwatered it - the compost should be allowed to dry out between waterings.  Has it been repotted?  Do you give it some houseplant fertiliser during the growing period?

If you can give us a bit more information we might get a clue as to what's wrong

hi

yes it has been moved i dont keep it in direct sunlight i do wipe the leaves i  think i may have over watered it as i did not know i had to let it dry out between waters i have had it nearly 2 years and i have not repotted it since buying from garden center so not sure what compost was used i do feed it any tips on what i can do to bring it back to being happy once more as its the longest indoor plant i have been able to keep

thanks for your replies

That's helpful jacqui4.

Rubber plants do best in filtered sunlight - eg in front of a window with net curtains is really good.  

I think I would let it dry out a bit if I were you.  It probably needs repotting, especially if it's been sitting in wet compost.  I'd probably do it now, although others might advise leaving it until next spring.

Good luck.
