Hi there,
I dropped from 400mg to 200mg a couple of years ago and the only real problem I have is that my fatigue has increased dramatically. My doctor will not allow me to go completely off of plaquenil because of another patient of hers who had kidney failure when she went off. I am thinking of asking for my dose to be increased because of the fatigue. I would definitely reconsider decreasing your dose if you're feeling bad or worried. I wouldn't take that chance. Hope that helps!
Take care,
Angie
