"I started taking Plaquenil about 2 weeks ago for SLE, and if I had been drinking around the time I’m supposed to take my pill, I just wouldn’t take it. I missed about 2 days, and this has been my worst flare-up. No side effects. I’m moody, but that’s just a normal 21 yr old female. Don’t be hesitant to try this because anything is better than the pain of chilblains and joint pain. Will update in a few months."

"I've had SLE and a host of other related illnesses for over 30 years. After my fourth (or fifth?) battle with pericarditis, my rheumatologist put me on 200 mg of Plaquenil. No real side effects, however, I have always been slightly anemic, and this seems to have increased quite a bit, mimicking the symptoms of narcolepsy."

"I have been on Plaquenil (generic) 200 mg for the last month. I have not felt any different since I started. I hope to start feeling better soon and that the medication starts to do something for my (R) shoulder/arm pain. I live with pain since I have suffered an accident that caused my RSD (CPS) over 20 years ago. But this pain is a little bit different from it because of the way the pain reflects in my body."

"This medication, Plaquenil, works for lupus, but for me, the side effects were that I nearly lost my vision. Very rare side effect."

"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."

"I experienced a rash over my entire body about 2-3 weeks after starting to take this medicine. I don't really know if it would have worked for me or not."
