so recently started taking Plaquenil 200mg, then had bad flare up so took 6 day Medrol pack. No relief and can’t function. UGH! Now Dr wants me to take 400mg Plaquenil and muscle relaxer twice a day now instead of once a day.(Pharmacy did give me generic which is fine, but this refill is a different manufacturer so that worries me a bit, has anyone had issues with this)

Hi MIchelle, I am sorry you are having such a rough time. I suggest you ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are concerned about the different manufacturers, they would be more knowledgeable about that than I am. Hang in there, do something nice for yourself. Hugs.

Hi Michelle,

I’ve been exactly where you are at with the Plaquenil and Medrol dose pack. I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well. I have found that a muscle relaxer when I go to bed really helps me sleep and reduces muscle tension the next day. I hope it can provide you some relief. What generic are you referring to? Plaquenil or the muscle relaxer? I agree with Auburnm, it is best to speak with your doctor or pharmacist regarding differences in manufacturers.

Hugs,

Sara
