Plaquenil

[Guest guest]

Hi Lindsey

I was on plaquenil for about four years and it worked wonderfully

with the minocycline, but then I became allergic to the plaquenil and

got dermatitis which is also a very rare reaction (only one example

in the world of it on the internet!). If I were in your position I'd

gradually taper off the Enbrel as the minocycline started to work.

Minocycline and plaquenil seem to be synergistic, to enhance the

effectiveness of each other. But I would definitely be afraid of

using Enbrel and plaquenil together because of the peripheral

neuropathy and the problems you've already had. It might be a

possibility to start the plaquenil if you taper off the Enbrel,

though I guess you would have some pain while you were making the

transition. I just wanted to say how well it worked for me and I know

it has for quite a number of other people on this list who have RA,

and they haven't had any troubles at all with it.
