There is no easy answer I'm afraid. It could be that if you give it another month, it might work for you. It's possible that if the doctor increases the dosage, that might do the trick. But it is also possible that it just isn't the treatment that is going to work for you.

I think if I were you I would schedule an appointment and ask your doctor if you should try to wait a bit longer, increase the dosage or switch to biologics. There are also ways to get help with the costs of biologics with patient assistance plans. Some of the companies that make biologics have plans to offset the cost. I don't know how that works and you may or may not be eligible, but something else you could ask your doctor about perhaps or check the manufacturer's website and see if you can find information there.
