January 18, 2010 Started taking Plaquenil

Now taking Plaquenil. It's been 1 1/2 weeks (200 mg) two a day. I feel anxiety, dry mouth, get bloated, loss of appetite, and minor diarrhea. I have really long weird dreams. I now weigh 200 used to weigh 175 last year. I get full eating quick at every meal. I kind of force myself to eat since I have no appetite. The good thing is I have a sudden boost of energy. I don't feel as exhausted. Just right now, I am on my monthly thing and I ache more than normal. I feel that burning sensation on my neck and upper back. I do feel some loss of hearing, my eyes get blurry once in a while and I mispell or get my vocabulary all wrong on what I write or try to talk about. But at least I have no nausea or vomiting which I would hate! and so far no loss of my hair. But it's only been 12 days into it so we'll see.
