I was diagnosed with PMR this past August 21st and I was put on 400mg of Plaquenil at night, daily. I am interested in hearing from anyone that has been on Plaquenil as far as to how long it took to start getting some relief, as well as if you started having any side effects.
Thank you.

Was there a reason your doctor or rheumatologist started you on Plaquenil instead of prednisone?

I have a vascular condition that Lupus Patients usually have so I was prescribed 15 years ago with 400 mg of Plaquenel. 10 years ago, it was reduced to 200 mg, and I’ve been fine. However, I was diagnosed with PMR six months ago, and I really believe that Plaquenel has helped the symptoms to decrease, along with Methylprednisolone. It’s a good drug and it caused no side effects for me.
