| Reason: | Type 2 diabetes |
| Side Effects: | Recently diagnosed diabetic. Dr felt this med would help with weight loss gained after knee surgery. Experienced upset stomach, insomnia, terrible joint pain, muscle weakness, and have recently developed pain in urethral area, severe burning and itching in vaginal area. My last A1c was 6. After seeing so many patients complaining about the side effects, I am going to stop this drug. It is not worth the issues that I'm having, and did not help with weight loss either! I want to exercise, but even walking has become painful since starting this drug! |
| Comments: | It seems obvious to me that with so many people experiencing pain, yeast infections and the like, that this drug caused issues for most people. |

| Reason: | Weight loss |
| Side Effects: | At first a bit of tiredness and nausea, slight. I have been a poor nervous sleeper for years so getting tired was good for me. |
| Comments: | I am sleeping better on this and losing. Love it! I kind of tested it at first, ate a lot, ate stupid stuff, ate too much. I only gained maybe 2-3 lbs. When I just ate normal, good food, 2 -3 meals per day and did not overeat, I started to lose weight. Skip the sugary stuff, be lowish carb or you will get some serious indigestion.One reason I started taking this was because regular dieting was just not working anymore. I am eating the way I did when I was younger and now with the jardiance, it is working. |

| Reason: | Diabetes |
| Side Effects: | 2 months after starting I developed hot flushes which continued to worsen over the 12 months until it became unbearable and severely disrupted my sleep. Even after stopping side effects did not improve. My gynaecologist said, as I was postmenopausal for many years, I am unable to reproduce enough oestrogen to build levels up again. So now I have endometriosis and andemyosis from the HRT which has still not settled my hot flushes |
| Comments: | The GP put me on too high a dose causing extremely low BP leading to falls which led to tearing both rotacuffs and a fractured toe. Doctors should have to complete a course on new medication before they presrcibe |

| Side Effects: | This drug significantly increased my urination frequency. Very easy to become dehydrated. But, because of volume depletion through urination, it lowered my blood pressure significantly enough so that I was able to discontinue one of my blood pressure meds. Had weight loss of 6 lbs. I think this was mostly due to water weight. Haven't had a1c check yet. |
