Hydroxychloroquine adverse reaction
I have just been prescribed Hydroxy but after two days I started vomiting all day had a migraine level headache and a rash on my neck and face I stopped taking it and all symptoms have stopped. Has anyone else had this type of reaction to this medication did it pass ?

I hope you've spoken to someone medical about this reaction. Sounded quite scary. All I has was stomach issues.

Not yet of course I will speak with my Rheumatologist whom I am seeing in a couple of weeks just hoping there’s something else I can take instead !

I am glad @Kempkat
There are a lot of different DMARDs they can try you on yes.
I hope you're doing ok in the meantime.

I hope you get better. I had the same issue but wasn't this bad. Still trying to get used to. Get severe headaches and also makes me feel weird and having trouble sleeping with nightmares and impacting my memory. I am due to see my nurse this week so will be discussing these side effects and will see. I used to take it before bed but have recently changed it to mornings to try and reduce impact on my sleep. Let's see. Hope you are doing ok!
