See your eye doctor regularly and make sure he or she knows what meds you are taking. I also took Plaquenil for years. When I started to have a vision problem (doctors were quick to spot it) they immediately took me off of it. Things were fine after that. Caught it early. A couple of years after that the methotrexate I was taking also showed signs of a problem, so they took me off that too. Things have been good since then. How is your arthritis holding up?

I am taking methetrexate and plaquenil 200 mg twice a day and methetrexate 2.5mg x8 once a week. And folic acid 1mg every day except when i take methetrexate once a week. So far I am OK
Started predesone in 2023. Started plquenel may 2023. Methetrxate Started 7-4-23 . Dropped pred. The 26th sept 23. I am just on meth. Plyquenel folic acid and a low dose diligen (sp?) For blood pressure. I am 75 so if I can continue on for 20 years before it affects my liver and eyes. Well I am doing great. My rheumatologist said he is going to take me off plaquenil soon. Good luck to us.
Taking for
