I have been on plquenil since january 2005
and I have actually lost weight. Are you
on any other meds that could be
contributing to the weight gain? I know
that many antidepressants cause weight
gain. I was on prozac years ago and
gained over 30lbs and it has taken me a
long time to get it off.

I have been on plaquenil from june and it
is great! It gives me so much energy. I
am on prednosin and because of that I want
to eat all the time but I have the energy
to exercise.
