One of the new members is newly on plaquenil and having severe headaches. Can anyone give advice or share their experience? Thanks.

Go back to the GP if the headaches are severe

I've been on Plaquenil for 9 months. No headaches for me.

Sounds like a trip to the GP might be in order. I'm on Plaquenil and haven't had any problems with headaches (thank goodness!).

I went back to the GP and she said i should try them for another month to see if they stop ... that was a week ago and they do seem to be slowing down a bit ... hopefully they are on their way out, hope so anyway xx
