I was on methotrexate for about a year ,then put on biologics. Biologics work much better.

Methotrexate made me severely sick. Was switched to plaquenil. Now i take that along with Arava & Xeljanz

I would talk to your rheumy about other alternatives. You might also ask for a Vectra blood test.

Hi Kathy...I'm new to the site and was just diagnosed. I've been prescribed Plaquenil and am wondering if you have any side effects such as hair loss, eye problems and anxiety. Thanks!
