Hi Lisa I myself was on cyclosporin a while ago and decided to come off it and go down a natural route to heal. Im sure your pee has also been a toxic looking colour? Please be very careful coming of this drug. I'm not sure how severe your psoriasis is/was but you will need to steadily decrease the dosage. Your body has been suppressed for 6 months and if you just stop the medication your body will react. Depending on what your treatment plans are after will also have an effect. I am not a medical doctor just have alot of personal experience with this disease. Your dermatologist will be able to put you on a plan to reduce your dosage I'm sure. X

I have just stopped taking it and already within ten days my psoriasis has started to come back.

Have you slowly reduced the dose? It will come back and it will be quite bad when it does. There is no getting over this unfortunately this happened to me also.

Cylosporin works but you have to weigh the pros and cons.......it will affect your body in my opinion...
Its a strong medication. And suppressing the immunity is a big call.. just my opinion...I was on it and am off it....I will not use it again

I was on cyclosporine many years ago and it resulted in hypertension ) high blood pressure). I currently take meds for this. I want to come off the meds. Does cyclosporine cause permanent kidney damage.

For me..I have always had and have strong kidneys....now every one is different makeup....however my creotine levels were uplifted... and my urine changed and smelt.......thats when I knew enough was enough....just my personal experience...as for kidney damage... who knows...in my opinion...maybe ...but everyone is different.
