i have been on plaquenil since 2005 it took almost a year for it to kick in i had to take steroids to calm down my skin condition until than i sometimes still do take steroids with flare ups i don't like taking them i would have some nausea at first but that went away ringing g in the ears not from that but sinus issues it does sound like you should see a dr maybe an e n t for your ears

I’ve had ringing in my ears for a long time- way before Lupus. My doctor told me it was from long term use of ibuprofen. Who knows. Maybe inflammation, too? But everyone experiences medication and side effects differently.

I have ringing in the ears as well but i had that before starting the plaquenil so it may be caused by something else, try talking to your doctor about it

Ive been on it three years and i think when i first started i would have diarrhea but it slowly went away as my body adjusted. Always make sure you eat when you take it. The ringing in the ears idk about.

It could be so please don’t think I’m saying it’s not. I feel Lupus can attack anything and cause all kinds of problems. With the over lapping of symptoms, you know your body best. This is my experience. I took ibuprofen and had steroid injections in my back many times over the years. It could be a result of that. I just live with it. Lol
