Very dry mouth, bad taste, and nausea. HOWEVER, developed excruciating upper abdominal pain relieved by leaning forward (definately pancreatitis). Can no longer take the drug and now my pancreas is fried, as I have lost control over my sugars. A1Cs were always in the 5-6 range before Victoza. Now I have to take TWICE the humalog and Lantus I ever did. | I am afraid this drug has seriously damaged my pancreas. I do NOT recommend this drug. | F | 51 | 2 months 1.6 1X day | 1/19/2011 | 1 | *UPDATE* | WAS JUST INFORMED BY MY WELLNESS NURSE AFTER STUDYING MORE ON THIS MED, THAT LONG TERM USE CAN CAUSE THYROID CANCER. | F | 42 | 6 months 1.2 1X day | 12/13/2010 | 5 | Constipation | M | 67 | 6 weeks 0.06 mg 1X day | 12/3/2010 | 5 | Diabetes | At first I had headache but those went away with time, maybe a month.
