I tried plaquinil and it made everything taste like cardboard. I quickly lost 50 pounds without trying and became very dehydrated. Aside from being too weak to stand, and loving the weight loss, the medication did nothing for me.

Plaquenil has been known to help many people with Sjögren’s. But it takes 3 or more months before you feel the beneficial effects.
