can I just stop taking hydroxychlorquine and hydrocortisone all at once or must I gradually decrease it.I was told I have sjogrens syndrome and have been on these meds plus levothyroxine, tribenzor, simisvistan, vitamin d, potassium for several years. I have recently developed floaters in my right eye and despite having new glasses with bi-focals can not read without taking them off. I believe I have been mis-diagnosed and want to stop the hydroxychloroquine and hydrocortisone immediately. I have osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Hello and thank you for asking in ChatDoctorI have gone through your concern. I can understand your situation as you are treating for several diseases in the same time but do not worry. In my opinion I can not believe that you are misdiagnosed. If you are not sure for your disease you can try to consult another doctor and I am sure it will be the same diagnose. You can not stop immediately HY Chat Doctor. If you have problems with your eyes it might be due to HY
