"My doctor prescribed this medication for a bad cough. The side effect was a clearing of my psoriasis. Horrible red-scaled skin on my elbows, chest, and groin has healed for a while. I took 13 pills, 2 a day for 5 days, and 1 a day for 3 days. I will ask my doctor to prescribe this every 3 months to prevent further flare-ups."

"Started to take this medicine for a tongue condition (geographical tongue). I read it lowers my immune system, and it definitely does. I only have one more day of it, thank goodness. I feel horrible. My head hurts, my eyes are watery, and I constantly feel achy. I don't really see a difference in my tongue either. Just want to be off this medicine! Let's hope the withdrawals aren't bad either."

"Doctor said in 20 years she never saw plaque psoriasis as bad as mine, I looked like a breakout of the measles or something. So after 8 mg the first day, in 30 minutes started feeling better, 3 days later clear skin.... haven't taken for a week and no flare returned. Picking up my script today, taking 2 mg 2 times a week and a week off to be mild on the body."
