I am not receiving the positive results of a years ago. Contemplating upgrading dosage to 180mg. Skyrizi has worked very well for my Psoriasis, and moderately for PSa. I have been thru too many other medications to start trying again. I also have Spondylitis, which adds to the pain. I am 67, and wonder if some of these aches & pains are normal for my age? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Donna if you like , I hope you do get the chance to SPEAK & ASK QUESTIONS,& i am not Angry, just making a Important Point to my new friend Donna, 😉 when you next visit your Doctors. Maybe you would be able to Open & give something Different to your Doctor to Think 🤔 about. Everyone needs to Speak Up if they are in pain, not seeung improvement , remind to look at ALL the effects, not just skin. . Best of EVERYTHING
Donna, hello, I am Terri, I was on the STUDY FOR SKYRIZI, for six years, started in 2019, ended the study in 2025. Tho they treated the 1st 2years with that Drug, Skyrizi, it worked , the same way, like what you are going thru. Good for awhile , excellent on my akin,Ps, but not so on my joint. I was in terrible pain. They took me off the study drug ( Skyrizi)BUT wanted me to remain being followed
On The Study. I SAID YES,SIR. I was placed on a number of Biologic, on fir a good amount of time, then removed me, so again, another 4 times more new drugs, neverr works well,not on pain but my skin , that was good, but I need something that would work For Me, the whole shebang. What Not Me! After 4 years, I was looked at by another doctor in the practice, she did different test and SHE determined that not only did I have PsA & Pa, my tests cane back with my new friend, RA. I think Kellie you should speak up , ask him or her,to check you out for RA. See what happens & I believe all the time. A person walks in a office with joint pain and your skin has PLAQUES, THEY S.T.O.P. Because your SKIN IS INFRAMED, ok thats easy, Differently PSORIASIS SO THEREFORE PsA, not the case., not My Case. You have to be your Own Advocate. Stand up and let them hear you, have them listen. Doctor's can be stuck on the first thing they see ( your Skin),& automatically say PsA,diagnosed & without thinking it maybe more than that . Its your job now.i really would be SURPRISE if your case, isn't exactly like My CASE. Took 45 year to DIAGNOSIS ME with the RIGHT, CORRECT DIAGNOSIS Praise the Lord . I am wishing you a Brand New GOOD Year ahead terri
Every medication stops to works, because your body get use to it. The best thing it's to get adding mls until you get the highest dose available. Sometimes the drs prefer to change the medications until you get the right one.
Has Skyrizi become less effective after two years, and should you consider increasing the dosage?
It's not uncommon for some psoriatic arthritis medications to become less effective over time. This is something worth discussing with your rheumatologist, as they can evaluate whether adjusting your dosage or exploring other Show Full Answer
