Otezla side effects?

[AutumnLeaf]

Hello, new member here who was just put on otezla by my dermatologist.

The doctor put me on a tapered dose to start and I just started taking twice a day pills at 10mg each yesterday, I will slowly be working up to the twice a day 30mg pills (6omg total).

I have been concerned about the side affects specifically nausea and migraines hurting my ability to study and carry on with life stuff so I wanted to ask peeps here how they have done/are doing on otezla? And specifically, when did you experience side affects? Immediately, or did it take longer (and/or until you were up to the full 60mg)? and how long did the side affects last for you?

I know everyone is different and my experience may not be the same, but I am just looking for some kind of reference of what I might be able to expect.

Hi Autumnleaf,

Good to start a separate thread.
As far as I can see, not many of the members are on Otezla. I found at least a thread Otzela didn't do much which indeed shows a little about the fact that most do not seem to have positive effects regarding the Psoriasis with Otezla.

Maybe someone will kick in.

Cheers,
Caroline

Hi!

Welcome!

I was on Otezla for a few months and experienced very rare side effects to the dosage with limited results. I did like taking the pill rather than giving myself a shot; however, I have since then switched to a biologic which is equally ineffective.

I hope it works out for you!
