Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: This helped a lot at first, but I have been on this medicine for 7 years now. I think I may need something more now.

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: I've been on this medicine since I was 12. I'm now 21. I have yet to experience any major side effects. Just recently I've noticed that it upsets my stomach if I don't eat with it but I guess it's because my doctor just upped the dose because I gained weight.

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Been taking for one week. Too soon to tell if it will work but long enough to learn that taking it with fatty food such as peanut butter or cream cheese lessens the stomach discomfort - for me anyway.

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: I have been on this medication since February 2008. I have more energy and less fatigue. I still have my days, but this medication is a God send. Initially, my hair began to thin, but with supplements and proper hydration for my hair, it has levelled and is beginning to thicken again. If you are taking this medicine and have some of the side effects, please give it some time. I am glad I did.

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: This drug gave me back my life. I suffered with chronic cyclical arthritis that felt like it was in every joint. The fatigue was devastating. Even if I slept for hours I still woke up feeling no better. I was scared to take this drug but eventually I had to do something. Thankfully, I have no side effects. I only have very occasional arthritis and am no longer tired. It has given me back my life. I do have my eyes checked 2x/yr.

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: I was recently diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis. I have started to take plaquenil. I am having extreme nightmares like never before. I looked up the facts on the drug and it is a side effect.
