Has anyone taken stelara more frequently than prescribed?

[Zig]

ive been on 45mg stelara for 2 yrs and its done me great.
have a long history of p and have tried everything else...this has been the best medication for me.
i recently got strep throat and flared up everywhere - my last stelara injection (4 weeks ago) hasn't helped at all. is there any risk in taking another dose 4 weeks later to kick it into gear..just as a one time thing? has anyone ever done that before? considering im not on the 90 mg i'm assuming it might be ok...

Well when you start Stelara you have shot#1 then shot#2 at week four, you can also have 90mg if over 100kg. So I'm guessing you would be ok to give it a try, however I would recommend talking to a professional about it first.

I tried 90mg but found it made me feel to much like a zombie, and have since found I'm better on 45mg every 8 weeks. And finally feel like I have it spot on now, and I've never been or felt so good.

Hope that helps, but like I say "You should seek professional advice"
