I've been on plaquenil for 20 days now and I am realizing that I have been feeling much worse on it. Pounding heart, anxiety, nausea, diarrhea are real bad.

Though I started Biaxin at the same time, I think it is the Plaquenil that is the problem, because I pulse the biaxin and not the plaquenil and I constantly feel bad.

Anyone else have to stop Plaquenil due to side effects? I just read it has a 2 month half-life. [Frown]

More input please ...Some say it starts out rough ,but if you ride through it, it helps a lot//

Others have said no problem and it was a turner in treatment.
Read where it was taken and didn't notice anything...

Is it a "big Gun"??

Plenty say couldn't do it/

Does it react different if you're on certain meds?

Should you take it at same time as ABX?\\

It stays in your system 2 month's???? [Eek!]
