    you should watch out your body to see whether your symptoms worsen or not. As lupus symptoms and medications can vary from each patient, some have side effects with hydrochloroquine or others get better when taking it. You should consult with your rheumatologist about your condition because you stop this meds on your own and see better changes, but you may not know what could happen after that. Your doctor may check your symptoms again and give me the best tip.
