Q: Tips For Taking Plaquenil/hydroxycloriquine?

I've been prescribed plaquenil or the generic hydroxycloriquine. So far it's causing bad diarrhea. We cut the dosage down to 1/4 of a tablet once a day and it's still causing problems. Any suggestions on how to sneak this one in?
Thanks,
jt

Find something else

Google Plaquenil and mood swings, I have had severe mood swings in the last few weeks, and diarrhea ever since I started taking it. According to others on this board, it can cause irreversable Bipolar.
