It's certainly not listed as a side effect, rather the reverse! Are you on steroids as well? I find I don't have an 'off' switch for my feeling of being full up, when I'm on higher doses or after an injection.
Hi Chezza56,
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing changes to your appetite but it is something which would probably be worth contacting your rheumatology helpline about. Alternatively, you can speak to your local pharmacist who may be able to advise whether this could be linked to your medication(s).
You should also report this side effect via the Yellow Card scheme (visit nras.org.uk/resource/report... for more information).
Best wishes,
Hannah - NRAS
