 1  Type 2 Diabetic Have indigestion but not bad. When I raised the dosage to 1.2 I started having stomach cramping and diarrhea. I have called Victoza and they are clueless. They are of no help. They claim they have not studied people that have diarrhea and therefore have no info about it. Victoza is not working alone for me but along with my insulin I do have good sugars but the side effects to me are not worth it. Not impressed with the company and no one seems to want to try to talk to you. They are paying a lot of people for nothing. F 66 30 days

 4  type 2 headaches; wicked abdominal pain; N/D; some weight loss; sugars are the best they've been in years. I need to figure out if the side effects are worth the EXCRUCIATING pain! I REALLY hope I can stick with this. It's the first thing that's worked for me in years. F 45 1 months

 4  Type 2 diabetes/weight loss So far, no nausea, no headaches. A little tummy trouble. Biggest complaint so far is this HORRIBLE taste in my mouth! Use mouthwash, brush teeth, bad taste always comes back. Weird... So far (only 4 days in) I definately notice a difference in my urge to snack. Will keep using the med, but if anyone has any advice on getting the bad taste out, let me know! F 37 4 days

 4  PCOS Vomiting, nausea, extreme headaches Although it is the first drug that has helped me be able to lose weight, the side effects are awful. I have been taking it 2 months and still manage to vomit at least 3 times a week. On the bright side, it does work and I have lost 15 lbs. Just rough side effects. F 23 2 months

 5  Type 2 Diabetes Severe nausea and acid re flux like symptoms first 3 week with severe fatigue. But well worth the pain now. Blood sugar before startin Victoza average 300 to 480 with taking 2 types of insulin 3 time a day. Blood sugar after starting Victoza on 06/09/2011 now averages 70 to 140. Awesome. My weight on 06/09/2011 was 325. Now after Victoza my weight is 246 as of 1201702011. I have seen concerns from many on here about thyroid cancer that was seen in lab rats . Please note that the lab rats were given a dosage 10 times greater than the maximum human dose of 1.8. No tyroid cancer was seen in the ape study , and non have been reported by humans as of today. For me the benefits have outweighed the risk ! I will continue Victoza .. Heaven sent for me. M 46 6 months

 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. I had been on Byetta for 2 months prior but it did not help at all. F 69 1 months

 1  type 2 weight loss I had only taken 1 dose in the am and later in the evening experienced nausea. I am very concerned about the information of victoza that it can cause thyroid tumors and cancer what the insert has said about this medication tested on mice. 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

 3  High bed time glucose readings At .6 dosage had slight headache and mild nausea..totally tolerable At 1.2 dosage have gas, fould smelling belching, noisy stomach and rotten breath. I know this slows down the absorbtion of food in the stomach but I feel like the food is just laying there rottening. I am still having morning lows in the 70s but my bed time numbers have come down to low 100's compared to low 200s. I will try to stick this out for a couple more weeks as other posts have mentioned the symptoms lessening and I would love to have some weight loss. If they don't then I will have to stop this drug. The foul smell and rumbling stomach is really embarrassing! F 48 18 days

 2  Type 2 Diabetter Severe nausea; diarrhea; stomach pain. I switched to Victoza from Janumet with hopes of achieving better HgA1C control (mine had been running approx 7.0-7.1). At my first 3 month check up with my MD after the switch to Victoza, my A1C had risen to 7.7. I asked to stop the med since my quality of life was suffering (ex: constant N/D> immediately having to run to the bathroom after eating a meal). He asked me to continue taking Victoza for another 3 months to see if things improved. The side effects seemed to improve somewhat; but I would still get occasional nausea and diarrhea, plus also these occasional sharp shooting pains and discomfort in my upper abdominal region. In addition, my weight increased by several pound. At my next 3 month check up, my A1C had risen even higher to 8.5. At that time, I asked my MD if we could stop it and and restart the Janumet. He agreed. Victoza did not work for me at all. F 56 6 months

 5  Type II First week on .6ml, dizzy one day, diarrhea 2 days, upset stomach 2 days. None of these affect occured at the same time. So, basically I was having some kind of a problem for 5 days in the first week. Endo, put me on Victoza as A1C was 7.3. He prescribed .6 for 1 week, 1.2 for 2 weeks then onto 1.8. I never dialed up to 1.2 as I didn't want to get sick again after the first week. I gradually dialed an extra click past .6 over a 3 week period to avoid some of the problems. I did -- I stop with only 5 clicks past .6 --- bacically it's 1/2 between .6 and 1.2 or .9. This is where I've been. A1C is now 6.4. Lost 10 lbs. the first week, gained back 8. Probably from not eating from being sick. With summer being here I will be more active -- hopefully I'll be able to lose more weight -- this will help to low my A1C. I've been very pleased with Victoza -- except for the cost. The drug has helpped me to control my diabeties. M 62 4 months
