Especially the side effects and serious side effects. | F | 4 months 100 mg | 9/12/2015 | 4 | Diabetes; High blood glucose | For the most part its not a bad drug. Took a week to kick in. BG levels are great! Problems? Major constipation for like a month and a half. Things finally started getting better after that. I still have some discomfort in my lower abdomen. | M | 40 | 2 months 100 1X day | 8/22/2015 | 3 | lower A1C | a little nausea but nothing bad. | I have no idea if it's working or how long it takes to work. There doesn't seem to be any information on this which is very frustrating. | F | 57 | 2 weeks 100 1X day | 7/14/2015 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | About 3-4 days after starting I began to have terrible blurred vision & watering eyes(had to pull over on highway) because eyes hurt so bad, honestly had to fight to keep them open. The were also burning. Went to eye Dr he noticed that eyes were very red, but could not tell me why. I reviewed my medicine and decided that the only thing I was doing different was taking the j. Tried taking half of the j and still had bad eye problems. Also had the worst stomach pain in my life. No nausea or vomiting, just pain for 1 day only. I stopped taking j after 2 weeks. It's. Even about 3 wks now, I still have the burning & stinging & slight blurred vision, but not as bad. It is now hard for me to read letters, books & signs now. I am hoping and praying that as time goes on I regain whatever it is that I lost when it comes to my vision. Also noticed that I was beginning to have a very negative attitude. | Sugar levels went up instead of down. | F | 66 | 2 weeks 100 mg | 7/5/2015 | 4 | Slightly elevated glucose level | Slight nausea but no other side effects so far | F | 57 | 5 days 50 | 7/3/2015 | 1 | Type 2 | Cough flu symptoms not well no energy pains in arms | handed a prescription for this last week by Diabetic Nurse due Sugar levels being high. Diet controlled for the last 9 years.i have tried Metformin for a couple of weeks but felt poorly.not impressed with this feel not myself Changed colestral tablet at same time why don't know as this had not changed.

I am going to stop Januvia and see if I feel better | F | 51 | 6 days 100mg 1X day | 6/25/2015 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | Headache that never went away, terrible fatigue, had to sleep in my car on my lunch break! No appetite at all, and my morning blood sugars also actually increased by about 100 points! After a few days, the severe back and hip pain started. Just not worth it. | With the pancreatic cancer potential and the fact that it does not work at all for me, I will be asking for an older more tried and true medication from my dr. | F | 35 | 1 weeks 100 mg | 5/27/2015 | 2 | My a1c level was a little high | My feet are tingling, and they feel like they are froze in blocks of ice. | I am a chronic pain patient as well as a type two diabetic, so I don't really know if it's the Januvia or my back causing this, but since taking it, my feet feel like they are frozen in blocks of ice, yet they are not really cold. I'm wearing 3 heavy pairs of socks yet they are still cold "feeling" | M | 55 | 9 days 100 MG 1X day | 4/9/2015 | 3 | type 2 | It's keeping my BS down 86-105 , but I'm always tired & my workout has suffered was bench pressing 455, now I'm down 2 405, don't no what 2 do | M | 48 | 1 months 100 | 4/8/2015 | 2 | type 2 | Fatigue, cold all the time | Tried Metformin for a months but had side effects. The Doctor gave me four weeks of sample Trajecta (?) and I didn't have any side effects. Express Scripts wouldn't appove Trajecta w/o me trying Januvia first. Now I have a 90 days of Januvia ready for the trash can. | M | 71 | 1 weeks 50 MG 1X day | 10/14/2014 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | extreme nausea, leg pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, sweating, anxiety, depression | F | 44 | 6 days | 9/26/2014 | 1 | My mother - controlling blood sugar | Caused my mother to develop Stage 4 Kidney disease. | F | 59 | 2 years 10 or 20MG 1X day | 8/22/2014 | 2 | Type 2 Diabetes | Started out having muscle aches. subsided and thought BGL were doing better. Also plus, was never being too low. After two months now have constant higher levels above 200 and many times above 250. Never happened on Metformin alone. I question now if Januvia is causing more issues then helping. | I suspect from reading other results that Januvia could be negatively affecting my pancreas. So much so, it could be damaging it. | M | 51 | 60 days 500 2X day | 6/14/2014 | 1 | type 2 diabetes | I was fine for two weeks, although seemed hungry all the time. Then I became all stuffed up and sore throat, and it wasn't a cold. Then the ANXIETY hit and depression. a little anxiety and then full blown the next day. I stopped it and in two days I was just fine again. Be careful with these new drugs. The hold one's and less expensive worked just as well. | M | 63 | 3 weeks 100g 1X day | 5/9/2014 | 1 | Type 2 Diabetes | within a few weeks of starting Januvia i became terribly ill in bed sick for 4 weeks(extreme chills,nausea,achy,diarrhea). The extreme chills lasted for the 5 months off and on. Also leg pain(felt like I was going to get a leg cramp, tightening in muscles continuously,could barely walk). Also had tingling in legs, feet and hands almost continuously with little relief. Would NEVER recommend this pill to anyone... | F | 43 | 5 months 100 MG 1X day | 5/6/2014 |
