Hi
Just wondering if anyone else had problems with loss of appetite and weight loss while on plaquenil.
I had my dose increased to 400mg a day about three weeks ago, and since then I have no appetite whatsoever. Weight is falling off me at a rather alarming rate - at least half a stone a week. I know that I should be eating, but was shocked when I worked out that I'm struggling to take in more than about 500 calories a day. If I'm not hungry I don't bother cooking cos I know I won't eat it, and if someone else does the cooking I still only manage a few mouthfuls. If I manage to eat anymore I seem to get chronic diarrohea.
Anyone else had similar problems, or advise on how to eat when not hungry?
Thanks
Sammy
