Comparing Otezla

For Plaque Psoriasis I have tried otezla twice the first time it cause horrible stomach pain and I had to discontinue it after three weeks. It worked miracles for my skin though almost all clear. I went to GI to get something to counteract the otezla. Went back on it and after two months on it I started having really bad panic attacks. I am not a panic person and have never had anxiety it got so bad I had to stop the pills. However be warned you can not just stop the pills you have to slowly decrease the dose the same way you have to increase in the beginning. I was not told this and ended up in the ER.

For Plaque Psoriasis I've been on Otezla a little over a year now and I think I will be stopping tomorrow after I visit my dermatologist. The Pros, much of my psoriasis cleared within weeks, especially on my neck and scalp. When doing UV treatments with the Otezla I was near 95% clear. I had all the side effects like tension headaches, stomach issues, and weight loss. However, I would take that and clearer skin over my psoriasis. I've had psoriasis for 24 years now and I have tried everything from steroid creams, UV, and biologic injections. I thought Otezla was the best! However, over the last month I have been experiencing anxiety and depression. I get stressed out so easily and having panic attacks has never been me. I cannot function normally.
