Yes, Plaquenil has been mentioned in papers as causing neuropathy. The only way to know is to discontinue it for a while.

On this site are side effects listed that have been reported to
the FDA.

Click on "neurological" and it will open up with details.

There are not many reports for this potentially toxic drug
because it is only used in small numbers of patients. It is not common therefore.

I had a horrible lupus reaction and bradykinin overload from a
long well known blood pressure drug (lisinopril) after 10 yrs of taking it. Even common drugs can cause terrible things in some people! And I am still recovering from this!
