Plaque Psoriasis
"I was able to avoid most of the gastrointestinal side effects by taking my pill about an hour or two after eating. After week 1, my psoriasis seemed to get more ashy than red. The patches became very itchy, but I felt that the medication might be working. That was the furthest extent of any clearing for me. By week 2, I was feeling depressed with anxiety that I couldn&#039;t seem to shake. Around week 3, my anxiety was getting so overwhelming that I called my doctor to tell him that I couldn&#039;t take the medication anymore. If you still want try Otezla and your insurance doesn&#039;t cover it, you should be able to work through your doctor to potentially get 2-week supplies directly from the manufacturer while your doctor is submitting an appeal."
