I WAS SCEPTICAL TO USE AT FIRST BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS,HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS DRUG FOR ME.......... THANKS VICTOZA I HAVE LOST 25# IN ONLY 28 DAYS THE DOCTORS ARE PLEASED AND SO AM I.... | F | 73 | 28 days 1.2 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 3 | To manage my BS w/o so many needles | Nausea, then uncontrollable vomiting. Lost 10 pounds in 3 days. Was never overweight. At almost 5'9" I weighed 160 lbs before Victoza. Loss of appetite. The little I did eat came back up in full force. Initially when I was first diagnosed with diabetes type 2 I was taking Glipizide. In 2010 I was put on insulin, both Levemir and Humalog. There was no problem except I got tired of sticking myself with needles and wanted to return to oral medication. That when I was prescribed Victoza and 750 mg of Metformin. I have to take 0.6 for a week, 1.2 the 2nd week and 1.8 the 3rd week and thereafter. I vomited a lot (and I mean a lot) but concluded that maybe it was because of the levothyroxine and avorstatin medication. When I stopped taking it, the vomiting stopped and I felt better. With all the negative hype about the side effects, I worry and don't really know if I will continue taking Victoza and Metformin. The best thing is that I only have to stick myself 2x daily no | I had been taking Levothyroxine for underactive thyroid and Avorstatin for my cholesterol a long time and don't think Victoza should be taken with these medications | F | 73 | 3 days 1X day | 9/21/2014 | 5 | Diabetes | None | I'm a retired RN, I was on 200 u Novlin N every day and 100 u Novolog. I was started on Victoza @ 1.8 for about 6 mo. When my son said his Dr increased him to 3.0 and his A1c came down to 5.5. So I very carefully started to titrate up and watching my blood sugars. I'm now at 2.8 and less than 10 units Novlin n at bedtime. I also got my D3 level up to 50. Today my A1c is 6.9 down from 8.9 and I feel like a human, no depression or tired and sleeping all the time. I'm thrilled. 2 shots a day, not 6 and all my blood work was within normal limits | F | 70 | 9 months 2.8 | 10/21/2015 | 3 | Diabetic | Severe gas pain in my back | F | 70 | 8 months 1.8 | 6/23/2020 | 1 | high a1c | Side effects stated with in first 24hrs. By day 5 they were unbearable . Could barely function on day 5. But it really lowered blood sugar. Just could not take anymore. | M | 70 | 5 days 1.6 | 8/12/2015 | 4 | Better BG control. Weight loss | Loss of appetite | Finally a drug that helps. I have reduced my insulin from 50 of Lantus to 24. My NovoRapid by 50% I have lost 10 pounds and my blood sugar iss great and quite predictable. Makes a great change from chasing highs and lows.
