i have been taking Plaquenil for about a month and have started noticing my arms and legs feel extremely itchy. Has anyone else had this problem? It’s like being bitten by tiny bugs!

YES!!!!! I don't get a rash, I get spots of maddening itchiness then it moves to another part of my body.

I've been on plaquenil for three years. I had the same problem for quite a while. I kept scratching and ended up with sores. It did calm down but still get it now and again.

My mom is on Plaquenil and had the same issues. She had rash all over her arms and was super itchy so she had to stop the meds.
