However, it said its still unknown about its effects on human studys, but clearly states it can cause pancreatic problems in humans. I beleive even though the FDA has approved this drug, i think its not safe to take this drug yet because of those risks involved. Sorry FDA, but i have quit taking this drug after i have read this information. | M | 48 | 1X day | 11/5/2011 | 3 | Type II Diabetes | I also now have a brain tumor...Unknown if it could be related. The up side is it is not malignant. a1c was very good though.

Also instant fatigue noticed after injection. I am very active and it was hard for me to do the elliptical ( usually do 20/20 for 1.5 hours, only able to do 45 minutes). | I will give it another few days and see if I can tolerate it. | F | 42 | 1 days .06 1X day | 1/9/2021 | 3 | 1 days | 11/2/2016 | 1 | insulin resistant | Headache in eyes and sinus.

Do some research on avandia they had to pay a 3 billion dollar fine on that one because they didn't tell all they knew on it (they lied to get it approved) They should start there comericals with hey you might die from it but you'll look good in your coffin! | 60 | 1 days none | 4/30/2015 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | Severe nausea. Vomiting. Shaking. Blurred eyesight. Migraine. | I would never take it again | F | 40 | 1 days .6 | 9/2/2015 | 1 | diabetes | Caused my husband 46,to have necrotizing pancreatitis with multiorgan failure.he almost died twice and is still very sick.he took victoza for over a year. Do not take this drug | M | 46 | 1 days | 1/9/2015 | 1 | hi glucose | 1 days | 4/16/2014 | 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. Or it's my own Insanity, lol !!! | F | 37 | 2 days 1.8 1X day | 1/10/2021 | 4 | diabetes type 2 | Bad upset stomach from the morning of the 2nd day. On 3rd day seem to be easing up. Blood sugar level was the same on 8mmol/l the 2nd day but dropped to 7.5mmol/l the 3rd day. I guess it is still very early days and got to get over the side effects however hope this will not be a recurring thing as I hate having an upset stomach. I have heard and read great reports from using Victoza including from my doctor and phamacist. Looking forward to the results for reduction in blood glucost level but especially in weight loss. Main aim for weight loss is due to sleep apnea. | M | 41 | 2 days 0.6 mg | 4/26/2012 |
