I was on remicade at the time and it was working until the break out hit from the burn (I was also on Methotrexate). I have been on stelara for a few months and it started to clear after the loading doses but after the second shot following the loading ones it came back full force. I have experienced slight depression and fatigue. Not very happy with this treatment.

Works better than Humira or Enbrel. Would be more convenient if you didn't have to go to the doctor for the injection. However, concerned about possible side effects. Considerable joint pain after use. Especially knees. Also constant nasal drainage/congestion. Wonder if anyone else has noticed these possible side effects.

It took about 2 weeks for the medication to take effect, but I haven't had any issues or side effects at all. I have been on absolutely everything and have had psoriasis since I was 9, so finally finding a medication that has worked, I'm going to hold on to thi ... Show Full Comment

Excellent effectiveness with no known or apparent side effects for this user. Much more effective than Enbril or Humira. After 30+ years of multiple and various failed therapies, I believe Stelara has proven to work quite effectively for me.

I've had severe guttate psoriasis since I was age 8. I've tried so many things from over the counter to various prescriptions including steroid injections, methotrexate, humira and now finally stelara. I've been taking stelara for over a year and a half with no problems. My skin cleared up within the first few weeks of beginning treatment and the injection has never been painful (like ...

I've been taking stelara for over a year and a half with no problems. My skin cleared up within the first few weeks of beginning treatment and the injection has never been painful (like humira). I'm so happy I have finally found something that works for me! I hope many of you can find similar results as well.
