Hello Courtney3
I have taken Otezla 30 mlg daily for almost 1 year now.
My skin didn't clear. Still having flares.
I also have the adverse reaction from it but goes away.
(Abdominal cramps.)
My dermatologist suggested to try biologics but I am worried of the side effects and warnings.
Although I have already had blood test which was recommeded prior to get the injection and all my test results are good.
I am still thinking about trying biologic. Am at 50% undecided.
Hope we will find relief soon..
Take care my friend.
Hi there, Yes I tried it and it worked very well to clear up my psorisis on my feet and hands but I suffered from the depression and had to come off it.
