I didn't have any challenges after being taken off Plaquenil. It might be because I was still taking Prednisone as well as Cellcept at the time. It takes several weeks to get Plaquenil out of your system.
I was the opposite from other responses on here. I felt so much better after I quit plaquenil. My energy was better and even the fatigue was better at first
Now instead of always feeling fatigued and tired 24 x 7 I only feel that way when a flare is coming on.
The responses to this post is proof that medicine effects each person in different ways. There no set medicine you can take and it helps every time. Because what works for me doesn’t work the same on others. This disease itself is the same. You never know how your body will respond to a medication. Just shows how crazy disease is.
It was hell! My body is yet goibg through. I was on it for 26 years on ans off. Off for 4 months now. Couldnt tolerate nothing with Benlysta. Back to the drawing board.
No problems, just extra tiredness
