| 5 | Diabetes | Initially had pain in upper stomach and upper left side but it resolved within a week. Really killed my appetite (which was great) and immediacy brought my blood sugar in line . | M | 60 | 2 months 3 1X day | 7/25/2021 | 5 | Diabetic | I have never had side effects. Keeps me very stable. I'm brittle diabetic. Until this am. I did my daily injection and suddenly there was an after taste. Minor but connected. Is this normal or just a freak. Been diabetic for 45 years. | F | 59 | 20 days 1.8 1X day | 3/11/2021 | 5 | Thyroid weight gain caused joint pr | Hyperness, maybe because I have fibromyalgia, arthritis which makes me so tired. I also have hashimoto which is hyper and low thyroid,to be clear. I am always tired always. I eventually gained 60 pounds way over weight. Recently thyroid doctor prescribed victoza. I started feeling myself right away. I do have ADHd to begin, along with depression and bipolar. 1 day on 1.8 took hunger away completely. I lost 2 pounds in 4 days. That is amazing and I'm excited because I took only 1 dose Skipped next 3 days to see side affects. Day 5 and I'm eating small portions periodically but not really hungry at all, however you must eat or your body feels like your stomach needs food, like when you're hungry and starving & feel like throwing up, even growls but you actually don't want to eat, but your stomach knows u need food if u get my just. I have also trouble sleeping since first dose, and nausea. I ate forcing myself because u need nutrients regardless. . I haven't heard people feeling like I do but maybe because I have several.medical issues and mental which triggers u differently. .on the bright side I love energy, I'm so extremely happy I can shed weight which helps my joint pains and I'm more active then I've been in a while. Also no jitters or anxiety. People say u adjust.. does work though. Miracle I say. Hopefully no reprucutions. Does anyone have similar effects??? Advise !!! Eat periodicaly. Nutrients are the key, use this to program healthy eating. | Be careful. Eat small portions forcefully.if u don't, u feel week, dizzy, out of wack, and your blood pressure drops which is not healthy. Take advantage to retrain yourself to eat the right way. Works wonders for me after trying diet pills that make me have crazy anxiety and hunger still there. Use it for the good. Either way sleep is fucken crazy all over the place. Please let me know if someone feels same.

Ever since I quit smoking almost 3 years ago I gained about 50 lbs, consistently craved food and developed diabetes (we think it started before I quit smoking). I was extremely hesitant to start taking this along with any other diabetes medications. I hate having to take any medications whatsoever but I am glad I tried this. Since I have started this I eat way less I don’t crave food like I use to. I tried to change my diet before taking this and my sugars kept going up. Since taking this my sugars now have been in normal healthy ranges. I still get those peaks when I splurge but they are not bad. The side effects were not too bad. A little mild stomach discomfort at the beginning but it was tolerable and went away fast. I started off at the lowest does and went up .5 of a dose till I reached the full dose 5 weeks later. I know peoples bodies are different and not everyone handles the same medications the same. Just listen to your body you will know if this is for you or not. I have way worse side effects from the metformin I take then this stuff gave me. | M | 37 | 4 months 1.8 1x day | 9/12/2018 | 5 | Weight loss | Really bad nausea and diarrhea for the first couple of days and upset stomach, the upset stomach has gone away but the nausea comes and goes, still have diarrhea though, i have been on it for one week and im down 12 pounds. food isnt appealing anymore and i eat less and im full faster. i think the benefits outweigh the side effects. | F | 23 | 1 days 0.6 1X day | 4/20/2018 | 5 | T2D | all fine, lost 65 lbs so far. (7mnths). fbs=90-105. | bout every 5 minutes I cough up a big loogie---yuck-o! | 73 | 0 months 1.2 | 9/14/2017 | 5 | Diabetic | Appetite suppression, mild nausea before eating some constipation. Some foods taste differently and i no longer crave sweets/chocolate | This drug is changing my life daily. I am now eating three regular meals day. I have no need for snacking between meals except for when having a hypo which has happened twice since starting this drug. Blood sugars not gone above 8 since starting and have only really had mild side effects its even made cigarettes taste funny so not smoking as much. | F | 32 | 10 days 1.2mg | 7/22/2017 | 5 | Type 2 diabetic / weight loss | Mild nausea, complete loss of appetite, sweating occasionally, indigestion, diarrhea a couple of times. | I've just increased to the 1.8 dose as this is the beginning of my 3rd week. I'm convinced the benefits outweigh the side effects. I've already lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks. As long as I make sure to eat breakfast (protein) and lunch (veggies and protein) and snack on fruit and nuts even when I don't want to, I'm fine. Dinner is almost nothing but I still try to get in some protein and veggies. The only time I got indigestion was when I ate at 7:00 pm and mashed potatoes were involved. I think this stuff is exactly what I've needed!!! | F | 46 | 2 weeks 1.8 | 3/14/2017 | 5 | T2d | No side effects at all | Sugar levels down and lost 21lbs in 9 months | F | 53 | 10 months 1.2 | 2/25/2017 | 5 | Non diabetic obesity. | Severe uncontrollable diareaha and horrible sour stomach. | I am very happy about losing 13lbs in the 1st month. I pray the side effects will go away! | F | 49 | 1 months .6 | 1/14/2016 | 5 | Type Two Diabetic | Constpation is my only side effect. | My A1C has drop from 9.6 to 7.3 in the three months I have been on Victoza. The constipation side effect is worth it to me, as long as my A1C countinues to progress in the the right direction. I also take 50 units of Lantus in the morning and 50 units at night now. I use to take 80 units twice a day. I have now changed my diet to more fresh fruits and vegetables and leaner meat (chicken breast and lean ground turkey). Have seen a little bit of a change in my constipation since I changed my diet. Also have increased my water intake. | M | 40 | 3 months 1.8 MG | 12/15/2015 | 5 | Diabetes type 2 | Had typical side effects of nausea and eggy burps for 1-2 weeks and they went away. Only experience nausea now if I overeat especially if high in carbs. | It has given me great blood sugar control and my A1c numbers have been excellent since starting. It has been a wonder drug for me. | F | 44 | 1 years 1.2 | 12/11/2015 | 5 | Type 2 | None -- expect much better morning BG reading. And not hungry. | The difference in my morning blood sugars was 140 down to 90 in 2 days. I believe I am one of those this may work for. | F | 66 | 2 weeks 1X day | 11/9/2015 |
