Guest guest Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 Hi , I was on Plaquenil quite some time ago. I don't ever remember being woozy from that med, but I DID have eye issues. My eyesight declined drastically, and still IS changing every 6-7 months, even though I've been off plaquenil for a long time. Maybe it stays in your system..........??? Anyway, sorry I can't offer much advice on your question. I think that's one of the main problems with those of us who have been diagnosed for so long: we have all been on so many different meds that after a while they all seem to run together, so we don't remember which drugs cause what reactions. At least that's MY problem! LOL...... I would call the doc's office and run it passed him/her. They can put your mind at ease. If you aren't comfortable with calling the doc's office, call your pharmacy & ask them. Good luck to you! Chris greywolf70@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi I was diagnosed in August with RA, and have probably had RA for over twenty years <sigh> My Rheumy put me on Plaquenil and I have had about a 90% improvement since then. It took about three months for it to kick in, but I am much better now. I can't tell you that I am totally pain free, but my energy levels are better and I can actually turn a key in a door without excrutiating pain ! I'm not on any steroids yet. I also take Prilosec OTC since the Plaq upsets my stomach. I am on the Generic form of it, and have had no allergy issues. Hope this info helps... J.J.
