I don't know what to do because next week I have to increased to 6 tabs a day and if still don't see my skin better,Should I stopped or give it a chance little bit longer if I can manage the nausea?

I just wanted to let you know I have moved your post to this thread as it will get found better that way.

Hi Sophia   to the club....I hope you enjoy your time with us here, I'm also on Fumaderm and have been virtually clear of psoriasis for around 5 years on it.
If you're on 5 tablets a day, does that mean you had 6 weeks on Fumaderm initial and have built up weekly
Then 5 weeks on full strength Fumaderm
If you are experiencing nausea don't increase the dose ...it's not important to increase at a set period.stay on 5 for another week and see how it goes

Are you taking your tablets with lots of fluid and with meals ......it helps with the side effects if you are

Any questions I'm happy to answer

Yes I was on Fumaderm Intial first and then after I finished I stared Fumaderm forte by increasing it every week . I didn't had side effects except occasional hot flushes.My severe nausea started this week .I am just really worry if medicine will work for me at all may be I just need to be more patient with it and give more time. I am taking a lot of fluids,I wanted ask are you on any special diet?

No Sophia I eat whatever I fancy and drink whatever I like as well, it will take time to work, it's a slow worker but if it works and I think it will if you can tough out the side effects, never take them without food either
I would say cut back by a tablet ( but that's just my opinion) let your body get more used to the higher dose......before going further ....but if you're tolerating it, do stick with it ....when it works it should give long term clearance, like I have....
The fact you are having a strong reaction is usually a sign it's beginning to work....some people get clear without getting to the maximum dose ....
Try to stay positive ....and keep coming back, and tell us if the nausea calms down ....

Ooooh I didn't realise you were in the US ....that's very interesting ...do you mind me asking how you managed to get Fumaderm. I'm glad you have got it...I only know one other on Fumaderm in America so it's good to know it's possible

Actually originally I am from Bulgaria and I used to see a dermatologist over there ,she wrote me a script and I send it to this online pharmacy in Switzerland and they shipped to me. I am doing my blood work every other week.
