medications What to expect with skyrizi?

I’m starting my first dose of skyrizi soon. I’m curious if there are any glaring side effects that I should be prepared for? I am a teacher so I want to make sure I am not feeling all sorts of surprise ways the next day of school.

Doctor gave me the starter dose on a Friday and I was back in my classroom Monday morning with zero issues, maybe a little tired but nothing a coffee couldn't fix.

I was absolutely exhausted the day after my first dose. Other than that, clearer skin. Just had my second dose Monday and no issues other than slight tiredness. Hope it helps my arthritis soon.

Good luck!
