Has anyone had constipation and water retention with plaquenil? If so, did it resolve over time?

I am having constipation and water retention issues after starting plaquenil. Has anyone had this experience and did it resolve itself? How long did it take?

Welcome MaKayla! I’m glad you joined the Lupus support group, while I have no advice on these issues, I know you will have answers forthcoming, Tami’s regimen sounds like a good idea. Best of luck with finding a solution ❤️🙏🦋
