Yes I have. I put about 3kg on when I was on mtx, now I'm just on hydroxy I've lost about 4kg. I don't have the appetite that I used to have before RA.

That's what I've found Started on it 2nd Jan and have lost half a stone. Thanks

[JFlay in reply to sarahha]

It's ok for me as I would like to lose about another half stone 😂 but if you're skinny probably not so good.

[sarahha]

I wish thanks

When I first started it I was also on other meds and yes I lost A LOT OF WEIGHT at first, but I can’t tell you if it was from That or the methotrexate or the combination of both. Nowadays, I feel as if it makes me bloat up☹️
