I am on Plaquenil, and my doctor wants me to take an antidepressant (specifically Prozac) for both depression and anxiety. I am scared to mix antidepressants and Plaquenil due to reading that these can possibly interact, but I’m tired of suffering from mental health issues. Does anyone safely take Plaquenil with an antidepressant? Prozac to be specific, or any of the SSRIs? Thank you so much in advance.
No, & never again will I take those awful meds.
God bless everyone in finding a healthier way
to deal with their journeys. 🙏🏼
Hey all,
My doctor just prescribed 20mg Prozac to replace my Zoloft of 50mg that I've been taking for the last 4 years! Have any of you had any experiences with it? Good? Bad? And in between?

Lord! Don't put me on Leflunomide then I already go a lot! I don't really get dizzy, just light-headed. Otherwise I just experience virtago moments now and then.
Has anyone taken Propanolol for anxiety? Did you prefer this method over SSRIs such as Zoloft or Prozac?
My Loraz is My LifeSaver!!!

Thank you for that information his appointment this Wednesday and so you know what the name of the meds. Maybe I can mention that to his doctor. Thank you 😊
I'd like to cut out foods that cause inflammation, I was reading that a Mediterranean diet is helpful to people with lupus. Has anyone tried that? Or anything that they find beneficial? Thinking about adding more fish as well.
Thanks for your help!
@A MyLupusTeam Member, you mentioned you take curcumin. By itself it is extremely difficult to be absorbed by the body. You need to add black pepper or it’s active ingredient Pepperdine (BioPerine)… read more
