I suppose anything is possible...but I just had no appetite at all on Leflunomide....never felt hungry...couldn't even stand the smell of food.

I have had to work VERY HARD to lose 2 kg while on leflunomide. Makes me want to slug the ones who say they lost 10 kg+ with no effort, lol. Now I'm on prednisone which is supposed to make me crave food and balloon up so I'm really hoping the two cancel each other out!
