Does anyone else take Plaquenil for OA? I was prescribed it about a year & a half ago and although it works really well the side effects can be horrendous, Diarrohea etc.
It also makes me feel very tired at times, I know its not a normal medication for OA but the doctors are trialling it in ' certain' cases
any feedback would be appreciated x:idea: . x:-)

I take it for RA. I had sickness & diarrhoea in the first wk of taking it for 3 consecutive days. Not had any more problems since. I started taking it from sometime in September 2011. Oh I take it 200mg twice a day usually after a meal or with food.

I take ages to get used to meds....didn't think the hydroxy was doing much so I stopped it for a few weeks ...then a bad flare forced me to try again and bingo it worked like a dream...my energy levels have been the best for a good few years....it does take time to notice it.
Best wishes

I am now going to try codeine for a while instead of Tramadol to see if it helps.
I will keep u posted.,
