Hi and welcome to the club! : 
I was on Acitretin and whilst it cleared the psoriasis very quickly, unfortunately the side effects were too much for me to cope with. However what works for one will not necessarily work for another and so it is well worth giving it a go. I am now on Apremilast (otezla) and have had fantastic results after 3 months. Saw my g.p. this week, who informed me he had a few patients on this, but none have so far had the results that I have seen.
I was all ready to give up on drug treatments and was resigning myself to putting up with being wrapped in tar and bandages from head to toe. This group gave me support and encouragement and enabled me to address my fears of side effects. So read through the various posts, everyone is friendly and as I know, when feeling really down, there is always someone willing to listen and respond.
