Re: Placquenil       03/09/06 01:26 PM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan Is actually used for both RA and Lupus. I've been on it since mid January. I seem to tolerate it pretty well. They started me on 200mg a day for one month. The first 2 days or so I felt a little "off." Mostly jumpy and kind of wound up and unable to concentrate but it quickly passed. A couple of weeks ago, they increased it to 200mg twice a day which I will probably be on forever. Again, for a day or two I felt off but now I'm ok again. The one concern with placquenil is that it can have serious affects on your eyes. You must have a complete, dilated eye exam once a year. As long as you keep the mg's you are taking to a certain ratio to your weight, than its very rare to cause eye problems but they like to have it checked to be for sure! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
