Anyone else take Mepacrine?

I was put on Mepacrine by the Prof in 2002 because allergic to Plaquenil. I have horrid black marks on my nails and what look like bruises on my legs which apparently is due to taking it.

I too was allergic to Plaquenil and then Mepacrine which made me feel worse. Now I am on CellCept which has improved certain matters like the arthritis in my feet which made it difficult to walk. Maybe you could ask to change the meds? Good luck!
