Has anyone taken LEFLUNOMIDE along with taking Hydroxychloroquine? Any side effects?

This what it said on google

Using leflunomide together with hydroxychloroquine can increase the risk of side effects that affect your bone marrow function, resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. This can make you more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections.

Intake my prednisone first thing on the morning because my Dr said it can keep you awake at night.
I also have gained 15 pounds since May when I started on prednisone. I’d love to get off prednisone but would rather be too heavy and pain free.

Been taking Plaquinel for years. 200 mg a day beats what I WAS on: way too much. Since 1992.😢 Thankfully in all these years I went through Chemo in 2000 & 2010 & tons of other meds plus side effects galore.😢
