Re: To re: Plaquinil and Pain meds

[Guest guest]

, the Plaquinil did not cause me any side effects that I have noticed. I have been on it going on 1 year now. It did not fully do its job so Nuerontin was added. It has helped some. I take Ultram 600 mg a day for pain and although many here swear by it, it does not do a thing with the really bad days. When I asked Rhuemy for something for pain on the really bad day, she pretty much ignored me. I think that is when she increased my dosage of Ultram.

I had 2 teeth pulled on long ago and the dentist gave me a script for, I think, 30 Percodan. I am hording those babies for the bad times.

I am going to pcp soon and intend to discuss this issue with him.

I know this may be a stretch, but I am finding myself getting very aggitated easily and weepy. I am not depressed. But all of a sudden I will get teary or sad. GO figure. I do take Effexor adn it works really well. The Plaquinil is the only thing I have added in the last 3 months. I have only been taking it for 3 months.Ok - also, I am in moderate to severe pain (joints and muscular) almost daily as many of you are also. I can not get my doctors to help me find any form of serious pain relief system/or medication. I finally couldnt take it any more and called myRhuemy and asked for some pain medication and he called in some Vicodin. Guess how many...3 tablets. Can
