Anyone on plaquenil experience any mood issues - anxiety, depression, unrest? I've been feeling kinda down, uneasy, anxious, etc these last couple of months. It may be winter blues, family stuff (like the brother!), local political squabbles (like high school... only worse!), car issues... but honestly it seems like something more. Of course, I could just have PDR readers' synrdome.
I can't say I've had any mental issues with Plaquenil and I don't believe I've seen it as a side effect. It could very well be the winter blues. Hang in there a bit longer and see if you start feeling better along with the better weather. I think short, dark, cold days and family/political issues could easily cause your symptoms. You're not made of wood, after all! I haven't noticed any mental changes with Danielle. She is still the same impossible teenager lol.
You're probably right... but I've been through all of this crap before, and it's never left me feeling like I just want to crawl in bed and watch the History Channel all day.

Maybe it IS the plaquenil!!! Just last night my husband told me I was pouting like a 13-year old!!!
