Withdrawal

Has anyone withdrawn from Hydroxychloroquine?

It isn't really used a lot in PMR but there are a few people who have been on it so someone may be able to tell you.

Why are you asking? And a bit more information would be helpful.

Sorry first post no idea where to ask ! I have Mctd and I’ve had a bad experience with this drug was looking for others opinions

Try the LupusUK forum - they use HCQ

Some of them have MCTD and they are a lovely community

I came off it pretty quickly. I was on it almost 3 months but my liver numbers were skyrocketing so I had to come off it. I don’t think I tapered… just stopped cold turkey. It took 2 months for my liver function to return to normal.
