Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Dear Lathisha, I started both MTX and Plaquinel together, I got the impression that where a Dr. starts with medication after NSAIDS. I started the MTX orally and was sicker than a dog. I do not recall any side affects of the Plaquinel. We stopped it due to a rash, I got worse so the Dr. said to go back on it and felt better. So I guess it works. Please take care, Gentle Hugs & Prayers, Carol M. In CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Are you taking folic acid, too, Latisha? Most rheumatologists believe and research shows that it should be taken with MTX to prevent or lessen side effects. Good luck! I'll tell you where to go! Mayo Clinic in Rochester http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester s Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org [ ] Plaquinel/ Mtx???? > > Hi all I just started taking MTX injections only .3 dose I feel ok but only have 1 shot under my belt so far. Do side affects usually start right away or build up slowly or what? Also my doc wants me to start taking plaquinel I havent yet he told me to wait a few days and then start. What problems do all of you have with it and do you have any ideas or tips to help with side affects. Thanks alot. Latisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
