I've recently been put on this new tablet for my psoriasis, just wondering if anyone has any experience with these tablets

Yes on it. Not sure if will do anymore than it is. Less flaky skin but still noticeable and the size areas not reduced at all x

Hi. I was on otezla for almost 3 years. Side effects were horrendous. Pretty much instant severe tension headaches/ migraines. But I persisted... as we all want freedom from P... all be it. Temporarily It did actually completely clear my condition up. After about 4 months. However. I suffered from life altering migraines whilst on it. But. Tolerated it. I was taken off the drug in March. It started to fail. Which apparently is not uncommon. Now gone back to my ‘leprosy’ state ! Hate myself. Hate it. Migraines however have reduced dramatically. Win some. You lose some :-( If you have avoided any side effect in the first few weeks. Stick with it. It’s a slow progress. But it did work. Guess it’s just my bad luck.
