Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 , the rheumy in LA put me on Plaquenil to try and cover the end of the metho week, when my voice disappears etc etc. Certainly no obvious side effects, except very vivid dreams. I have had these also while on other antimalarials in Africa. Actually, when I was taking the Effexor XR I hardly noticed, but when I recently stopped it I remember the dreams very clearly. They are not usually very nice dreams, I'm afraid. The rheumy here reduced the plaquenil dose from 400 mg to 200mg -I'm not sure why- I didn't mention any problems, so I wonder if that is why I am feeling less well....on the other hand it could be coincidental. It also might be because I am tired, Ramadan is hard for everyone, whether fasting or not, we will see. I'm all right really, just moaning alot!! I am so proud of how you are doing with the smoking. Love and prayers, Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up a little nauseated but nothing bad... I only took 200mg. The Dr told me to take 400mg either all at once or 200 twice a day. Guess I'll try the other 200mg this morning... Thanks everyone for all their input... I'm just a big chicken when it comes to meds.... hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
