I don't know. I lasted 3 days on that stuff.
My stomach didn't like it either.

I've been taking plaquenil since the end of June. I was really nervous about taking it and basically waited to add it in my regime as late as possible.
My herxes were just feeling extremely tired along with muscle weakness. I was also nauseous.
Feeling much better now, yes your body aches sound similar to what I experienced.
