Skyrizi for Psoriasis Reviews
"I have been on Skyrizi for over a year and a half now. My Psoriasis cleared up soon after the initial doses. My skin has been clear and smooth. I had no bad reactions to this drug and it has been a Godsend. Would highly recommend. I get my from Abbvie at no cost."
"I had a really bad stomach pain followed bye a crazy itching all over my body. I’ve taken two doses of Skirizi and I had the same reaction twice with a month apart. How can I get rid of this symptoms? I’m so scared that will happen again. I’m never taking Skirizi again!"
"this drug after close to 18months or more made no difference in low back guttate psoriasis dermatitis is which appeared as an allergic reaction after bad food and another drug. I've been given many drugs in the same class: enbrel humira skyrizi otezla consentyx they're all equally ineffective and only made my skin hurt. The dermatitis the MD was at war with was not my normal immune system over reacting no, The allergic reaction was to another drug or a bacteria in food. The only thing that puts the low back dermatitis closest to get guttate psoriasis calm down is two weeks of water fasting and avoiding the other mess provoking breakout."
"Went into Skyrizi failing every other biologic systematic you could think of before it trying to treat plaque psoriasis and arthritis for 12 years, although it cannot treat the PSA for more than a month per loading dose, Skyrizi not only cleared my skin quicker than the competitors, it also didn't have a severe effect on my existing health conditions unlike the rest. In fact I noticed some of those other conditions improve temporarily, have also been able to enjoy a flexible diet and other bad habits without a single lesion or breakout since starting it, cannot break the effectiveness of this biologic no matter what I eat or drink. I would say based on my experience it is the least risky and most effective thus far and has taught us the IL23 pathway is critical to treating many other autoimmune diseases"
"I started Skyrizi in May, 2022 after my skin doctor had me try a number of drugs including Enstillar. Enstilar was effective at first but the psoriasis spread to my arms and legs so much we tried other creams and Otezla. After two weeks after starting Skyrizi, my psoriasis started to improve on My legs and arms. I have taken Skyrizi in August, November, and January. My skin doctor said I should keep using it because if I stop, the psoriasis might get worse. Am now in the second year of Skyrizi and my psoriasis is 95% gone! Trying to research issue of continued use after a full year or 4 doses."
"I have guatte psoriasis about 70% of my body is covered, I just started skyrizi and got both the starter injections in my stomach at the doctors office, I have noticed some burning when I pee, some tiredness, flushing, I know my body has to get used to this medication I’m glad I have some time off work for my body to adjust to this Skyrizi. The patches on my arms and legs are starting to dissipate after only 4 days."
"I’ve had psoriasis since I was 8 years old and have done every topical recommendation under the sun. I was on otezla for a few years. Initially it worked well but I had a lot of side effects and then it stopped working at all. I started skyrizi a year ago and cannot be happier. My scalp is clear for the first time in 24 years and all the visual plaques on my skin has resolved. I had no side effects from starting it but have gotten two UTIs (which I have never had before) since being on it."
"I had psoriasis over most of my body. Flaking scales (especially my scalp) were making me not want to go out. Skyrizi has been life-changing for me! Two and a half years using it and my skin is absolutely clear. I haven't noticed any side effects and feel very healthy."
"I have taken my starter dose and it’s been about 3 months and I still don’t see any results. This is my 2nd time giving this medication a try and getting the same results. I don’t get new spots but my old spots don’t go away."
"I have been taking Skyrizi 150 for over a year. I have psoriatic arthritis; my skin cleared up within 1 month or 2. My joint pain also subsided for the initial year. I have recently started having issues with increased joint pain, especially in the hand and elbow area. I will bring it up to my dermatologist next visit."
"Had two shots and the skin on my fingers and toes started peeling off urine turned turned dark and had to urinate more often feel more tired and now bleeding internally do not take this drug!!!!!"
"It worked well but also made my arms red and bleeding. Every time I itched it made my arms bleed"
