Plaquenil to hydroxycholoroquine

I have been taking plaquenil and need to switch to hydroxycholoriquine (generic plaquenil) because the cost of plaquenil is high. Has anyone switched from plaquenil to hydroxycholoroquine and found huge differences like GI symptoms--or any other terrible side effects. Thanks.
