For Plaque Psoriasis "Ok so I have had plaque psoriasis since I was 14 years old and I have tried every cream, every lotion , even certain foams and I have even been prescribed humira and none of of has worked the way taltz had . I took my 1st 2 shots Wed and it is now Saturday and I have noticed a big difference in just a few days ...no more itching ... The inflammation has gone down immensely.. And I can finally be comfortable putting my jeans on now ... I know that every one is different when it comes to treatment ...I'm just glad I have found one that finally works for me :)"

For Plaque Psoriasis "Psoriasis for 5 years. All of my fathers side of the family has it as well. First ok with topics, but it got worse all the time. Tried UVB, methotrexate, cyclosporine (which gave me UTI-like symptoms but no actual infections), otezla (which I was on for 6 months and CONSTANTLY nauseous) and humira. None of these gave me virtually any results. Probably slowed down the outbreak of new patches, but did nothing to the old ones. I have now taken the starting dose of 2 injections about 2 weeks ago. My back, which was one of my biggest problem areas, has almost cleared up. Arms (also problem area) are looking a little better. Had some small spots on stomach and most of them are gone. What I am really pleased about is that I haven’t noticed any new spots, which was almost daily earlier. It’s an expensive drug and I was happy to be approved for it by the government (not living in the US). Looking forward to seeing if it still keeps improving and hoping I can someday be 100% clear!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "I took Stelara for plaque psoriasis for about four years and it worked very well----- until I had to miss a dose because I was having knee surgery. After 3 1/2 months I resumed taking Stelara but my body no longer responded to it and I started getting a lot of activity on my legs. My doctor suggested switching to TALTZ but I was put off by the initial starter doses and the monthly maintenance dose. (After all, Stelara is only one shot every 3 months.) Nevertheless, I decided to read online comments about TALTZ and was encouraged/ but skeptical about some people saying they saw improvement in days. Well now I'm one of those people. I saw improvement in just 4 days, I'm on week 6 of treatment."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "My grandmother took a Taltz injection and immediately went into a stroke and died. We are in the process of a lawsuit where they deny all responsibility and continue advertising to people who do not need or want this medication."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I started taking Talz a month and a half ago. Within 3 days I see immediate clearing of skin. Within two weeks, I was 100% clear. This drug has been a miracle and is the first that was so efficacious (I took enbrel for a decade and stelara most recently for a year). It feels too good to be true so true test is how long this will last. So far so good!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "Talz has taken me from being the healthiest person to the least healthiest person. It caused me to get hypoglycemia, bad headaches and I've been in the emergency room on top of that. Now, I get chest pains nightly which wake me up. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. THIS DRUG SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET!"

For Psoriasis "I’m sixty four and have been living with moderate to severe psoriasis since my late teens. I’ve tried it all UVB, creams, ointments, etc. nothing got rid of my psoriasis. Major breakouts left me in pain, bleeding, peeling and depression. When Enbrel came out I thought it was a God send, it knocked it way down to maybe one percent of my body but never got rid of it until Talz came along, I’m 100% clear now. I’m very happy with the results. Been using it three months now."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "Very helpful with obliterating PsA symptoms that had been painful enough to wake me at night, and incidentally clearing up undiagnosed skin effects I had for decades. When choosing the injection site, I imagine my belly as a clock face and the digits corresponding to the month. Then I don't have to remember where I injected it last."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I was 90% covered. I took mr first double dose and 5 days later I was 60% clearer. I put on shorts today for the first time in a long time. All I can say is that at this rate I will soon be 100% clear. I hope it keeps working"

For Psoriasis "I could not believe in a matter of a couple doses my skin was clearing up. I had tried diets, other drugs, tanning beds, red light therapy, skin products, steroids, I went all natural everything on my body and nothing worked. Then Taltz and I look normal again at 43. I developed psoriasis when I turned 40 it took me three years to find my answer."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have had plaque psoriasis 25 years and have started Taltz 1 year ago. It completely cleared my skin. I used Stelera for 5 years prior to Taltz, but still had some psoriasis left on my elbows and some spots on my lower body. I am able to wear the clothes I want at work in summer and wear swimsuits in the summer! My life is changed. I wear dresses with short sleeves with no tights! I don't have to wear cardigan/long pants in the summer! I thank Lilly company for producing the drug and thank the co-payment assisting program! Thank you so much!!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "Update on my Taltz. Been on it for almost 6 months now and am 100% clear. I saw clearing 3 weeks into taking the prescription and at 6 weeks, 100% clear which has been sustained through this time. Amazing experience for me and no side effects thus far. Thank you Taltz for making a difference in my life!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "Worse decision of my life to start biologics. I had mild to moderate case treated with topicals. Decided to pursue a biological in search of a drug to finally give me clear skin. In the contrary, this has worsened my Psoriasis , I now have the worst case in 25 years. Biologics have actually triggered Psoriasis in areas I never had before. It is resistant to biologics, and now even resistant to topicals. I have tried Otezla, humira, Taltz, going to try Tremfya next. No help in sight, Not sure what to do next."

For Plaque Psoriasis "My husband had severe plaque psoriasis for over 20 years. Nothing has come close to clearing it until Talz. One week after initial dose we could see a significant difference. He is plaque free now! Looking forward to our first vacation that he will wear shorts and swim trunks in a few weeks!! He has had a very intense sinus infection, but cleared with antibiotics, but still had some reoccurring drainage. But..a few weeks ago he injected it in his thigh instead of stomach. Shortly after he began having knee pain in that leg. It has increased to the point that it is difficult to walk. Has anyone else experienced this?"

For Plaque Psoriasis "I've been on a few psoriasis medications and happy to say Taltz has worked the best for me. The injection does sting more than another, I haven't found my "sweet spot" yet. I don't mind the results are terrific."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I feel so disappointed about the outcome of TALTZ. The first few days were fine didn’t have joint pain. Then things changed I had side effects of headache, feeling as if I was getting sick, hot, sweating. The next wave of side effect was DIZZINESS and weakness all over. It was hard to stay out of bed and I slept for three days! I had burning eyes too. I feel defeated as I have been on three meds with no success."

For Psoriasis "My 30 year old son was started on Taltz for a moderate case of psoriasis and was on it for around 7 months when out of the blue he developed a very severe case of ulcerative colitis. It was classified as pan-colititis involving his entire colon. The GI doctor who did his colonoscopy said it was the worst case he had ever seen and listed it as such on the scale they use to determine severity. My son had NEVER had any kind of issue with his bowel before. He ended up hospitalized in extreme pain for over two weeks and at one point we were concerned they were going to have to remove his entire colon because they couldn't stop the pain or bleeding with steroids. He couldn't eat and was put on TPN for nutrition. He ended up losing 40 pounds. He eventually responded to a medication called Remicade and was able to leave the hospital. He has been informed by his doctors that he will have ulcerative colitis for the rest of his life and all the pain, discomfort and expense that will entail."

For Plaque Psoriasis "Hi everyone I've just started on taltz after being on cosentyx for the past 18 months I took my first 2 injections of taltz last Tuesday and I haven't seen any improvement should I be worried that taltz isn't working or does it needs more time"

For Plaque Psoriasis "It was difficult to believe my eyes. I have moderate to severe Plaque Psoriasis and severe Palmo Plantar Psoriasis. My skin was 50% clear in 3 weeks and 80% clear in 30 days. Now, at 6 weeks, there is no trace anywhere on my body. NO side effects from bi-weekly treatment. Can't even feel the injection going in. Hoping this miraculous treatment lasts."

For Plaque Psoriasis "4 months on Taltz, now on maintenance dosage , and Psoriasis plaques getting worse. I am disappointed with results, this is 3 rd drug failure. Failed Otezla, Humira, now Taltz. Systematic drugs have worsened my Psoriasis. I should have stuck to topicals. I feel there is no going back now, they have caused worsening of my symptoms. I had previously controlled my symptoms with topicals and now the don't work either."

For Psoriasis "I've been on Taltz now for almost a month. I started with 2 auto injections at once and then now doing 80 mg every 2 weeks. I have plaque and guttate psoriasis which my dermatologist has classified as erythrodermic psoriasis. My entire body is covered and this has never happened to me before. I’m 27 years old and I've had this flare up for 8 months.. now I’m experiencing something new though since starting the Taltz. I've done 3 injections so far. My flare up hasn’t gotten better at all like whatsoever. Not even a little bit. In fact, my patches are getting larger than they ever been. I have no side effects so far from taking taltz, but is it normal for my flare up flakes to combine and get larger?? I’m not experiencing new flakes.. but the ones I have are starting to connect together and form larger portions. I’m literally covered from chest down. Also in my scalp and back of my neck. I’m starting to feel defeated and I just hope that this doesn’t mean it’s not working ):"

For Plaque Psoriasis "I tried Humira for 4 mons made me worse. Then one shot of Stelera made me beyond sick and my hands and feet went from red pustules psoriasis itching to burned. Actually looked as if I was burnt inside out. Asked the Dr please do not put me on another biologic. Went for 2 months untreated while they tried too get taltz approved. So then I developed MRSA. Started the 2 starter doses on 7/28 of taltz. Then 2nd dose on 8/11. Now I am 100 times worse than I was on the Stelera. I'm burnt all over both feet and hands. I am unable too do anything. Went to the urgent care sat for 2 hrs was turned away they couldn't help me. Dermatologist is on vac. Couldn't get an appointment w/new dermatologist until next Friday. So here I am suffering, burnt from taltz."

For Psoriasis "Guttate psoriasis over 50% of legs for 20 years. I’ve tried light therapy, steroid creams, Tazorac, Otezla and Cosentyx. Otezla made me nauseous and did nothing. Creams would help slightly, but it took weeks and also left my skin raw and peeling. Cosentyx for 9 months made them slightly smaller, but no real noticeable change. Just had my week 2 dose of Taltz. I have to say it might be just the initial loading dose of a biologic repeating, but it is actually better. A long way to go- but I am hopeful. And I agree that the autoinjector pen is ridiculously painful. Brings tears and I am pretty tough. It is short lived though and praying this biologic finally makes it to where I can wear shorts ."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have been on taltz for about 4 months I saw results right away. It has even helped my rheumatoid arthritis some. The only side effect I have is mild cold symptoms which goes away pretty fast. The biggest drawback of this medicine is it lowers my immune system which sucks because I get sick a lot more now then without it. I got the flu recently it lasted 7 days and it was pretty severe. I have tried lots of other biologics, you name it I have tried it. Before taltz I was on cosentyx it was great except it gave me very bad mouth sores. With taltz I only had to pay a 5.00 co pay my insurance and Lilly took care of the rest. I am pretty much 99.9% clear taking this medication."
