Well I've been put on hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day. This is my first RA medication. Has anyone had experience with this medication? It is also called Plaquenil. Let's see what happens. I won't see my Rheumatologist for 3 months now.

    Hi - thanks for your question. There have been a few discussions about the same question that may be helpful (https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/forums/hydroxychloroquine) and (https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/forums/anyone-ever-taken-hydroxychloroquine). Please know that medication impacts everyone differently so their experience may not be yours, but it can help to know what others have gone through. Warmly - Reggie, RheumatoidArthrtis.net team member
