1 | Diabetes | Vomiting, Nausea, Diahrea Sulfer Burps, Insomnia, Acid Reflux | I put up with this drug for a year. I'm done the sulfur burps and vomiting, the insomnia and everything else. Oh and no weight loss. It does bring down your blood sugar level probably because you can't eat on this stuff. | F | 55 | 1 years 1.2 1X day | 7/12/2018 | 1 | Pre diabetes weight loss | Horrible nausea and vomiting nasty tasting huge burps headaches dizziness | Don’t take this poison not worth it. | F | 67 | 2 days 1.8 1X day | 6/26/2018 | 1 | Type 2 Diabetes | It’s poison... nausea diarrhea felt sick all the time. Told normal side effects. Developed pancreatitis which resolved after stopping Victoza but stomach pain and feeling sick continued so severe had endoscopy which showed my mucous was destroyed and ulcerations had formed. Severe ulcer pain from my mouth to my bottom. Four months off Victoza and I’m slowly healing with aid of GERD diet and ulcer and antacid meds. Worst experience ever. I should have trusted my body when with every injection it made me feel sicker and sicker until I was in ER. Don’t use this poison. | Poison | F | 49 | 14 months | 4/30/2018 | 5 | Weight loss | Really bad nausea and diarrhea for the first couple of days and upset stomach, the upset stomach has gone away but the nausea comes and goes, still have diarrhea though, i have been on it for one week and im down 12 pounds. food isnt appealing anymore and i eat less and im full faster. i think the benefits outweigh the side effects. | F | 23 | 1 days 0.6 1X day | 4/20/2018 | 3 | Weight Loss | Arms and Legs falling asleep very easily | Drug seemed to be working great. Had very little desire to eat. Lost 18 lbs in 2 months. A little nauseous, but tolerable. I started to wake up with my arms asleep and had some tingling in my feet. It became more and more frequent. I have temporarily stopped the medicine. I hope this subsides. | M | 42 | 2 months 1.8 1X day | 4/6/2018 | 4 | Type 2 | Mild stomach discomfort, a little nausea, minor bouts of diarrhea, massive reduction in appetite. | I do not enjoy sticking myself with a needle every day, however, this medicine is working for me with minor side effect issues. My weight is dropping off, my blood sugars have not been this good in years and I find the side effects highly tolerable. I appear to be having a much better experience with this drug than others. Victoza is working for me with only minor issues. I actually have to make sure my sugars don't get too low now, the exact opposite of what had been going with me. | M | 45 | 30 days 1.8 1X day | 1/28/2018 | 3 | Diabetes | Continued Insomnia, and spontaneous diarrhea (leaks with no warning) | I don't know about this stuff. My life has been very unpleasant since I started, including diarrhea, but now it just happens. And my numbers aren't that great. Still have not seen below about 145 although that is a lot less than before I started. And I have talked to others on it, and they are having terrible side effects. I am hoping they subside, or I am off this stuff. | F | 66 | 18 days 1X day | 1/28/2018 | 3 | d2 | Insomnia loss of hunger | Must have commercial insurance and be covered for prescriptions, not Medicare etc. and with card if you meet the qualifications, you can get 1 pen for 25.00 2 pen for 50, up to 4 pens for 100.00. Offer good for 2 years. Read the fine print. If all works well, Thanks for this offer Victoza. It will really help. | F | 66 | 9 days 1.20 1X day | 1/22/2018 | 3 | T2d | Rapid heartbeat and stomach ache some constipation .no energy headache | Hopefully these side effects go away | F | 50 | 11 days 1.2 | 1/22/2018 | 3 | Type 2 | Helped A1c lots lil weight caused severe reflux nausea constipation and eventually gallbladder out. | F | 51 | 3 years .6 | 1/20/2018 | 3 | Diabetes | Insomnia. does anyone else have that. Blood sugars are great, and no other side effects but I don't go to sleep until 4am. And it started the day of my first dose. My doctor says it doesn't give insomnia as a side effect, but either they are keeping it quiet, or don't know. Haven't slept more than 3 hrs a night since I started. | The expense is terrible. My insurance does cover it, but I still have to pay 145.00 which is a whole lot of money for me. | F | 66 | 7 days .6 1X day | 1/19/2018 | 3 | Overweight | Mostly Nausea, some vomiting, slight stomach pain, some constipation, my burps leave the aftertaste of egg (maybe sulfuric) | After my doctor tried everything else, he suggested that I try Victoza out to see how things would go. This is the part where I wound up being the guinea pig. I should have spoken at length with him about it first. I was sure he would start me on .6 first as a dose, but since he wanted to see immediate results, he started me on 1.2 instead and my stomach paid the price for it. Day 1 went without a hitch. Day 2 I was vomiting. It wasn't pretty. Since I had my Dr's cell number, I sent him a text saying that this medicine wasn't for me. But he continues to insist that I keep going with it. That was on 12/11. It's now 4 days since the text. We agreed that I would stay on the .6 dose until further notice. So far so good. I still get stomach ache, some nausea, and the egg tasting burps continue. However, the vomiting has ended for now. Doctor tells me with time those side effects will go away. I'm hoping they do. | F | 50 | 5 days .6 1X day | 12/15/2017 | 1 | Type 2 Diabetes | I hate this drug! I have been on Trulicity for almost 2 years with perfect results! Now, my company has changed to Blue Cross, and they refuse to cover Trulicity. All the progress I've made..down the drain. I started this crap on Monday and immediately, within the first hour, was so sick to my stomach I had to fight to not throw up. My back, neck and shoulders are killing me. My head hurts. I am so exhausted..NO energy at all. My whole body aches. I feel worse than I've ever felt in my life! | This drug is crap. The side effects I'm experiencing are unbearable. And I can't stand giving myself a shot every single damn day. Thanks a lot, Blue Cross, for screwing up what was already working for me. Eff you! | F | 48 | 4 days .6 1X day | 12/7/2017 | 1 | Weight loss | I have been taking this drug for weight loss for about 8 months. I was taking it off and on the whole time I was on the 1.8 dose. I am experiencing no weight loss, flu symptoms, acid reflux, stomach ache. | I started with the .6 dose and then for a few months I was on the 1.2 dose. I did not experience any stomache pain, or acid reflux but no weight loss. Spoke to doc and we moved to 1.8 dose and the side effects are terrible. I am not taking it anymore. Woke up last night with acidity taste in my throat. Yuck! | F | 66 | 8 months 1.8 1X day | 10/25/2017 | 1 | Weight loss | Stomache cramps. Nausea fatigue | F | 79 | 6 days 6 | 10/24/2017 | 1 | Type 2 | EXTREME nausea, headaches, diarrhea, horrible taste in mouth like burping up eggs. | The nausea was so bad that I missed a week of work & I was only on it for e weeks. I was at the point where I just wanted to die. Couldn't take one more day of it and I ended up throwing the vial away. One good thing, I did lose 20 lbs in that time. Had to choke down a piece of toast. Couldn't eat or even drink water. I would rather have not lost the weight than being that sick. Miserable! Would NEVER recommend this to anyone. | F | 52 | 15 days 1.8 mg 1X day | 10/11/2017 | 5 | T2D | all fine, lost 65 lbs so far. (7mnths). fbs=90-105. | bout every 5 minutes I cough up a big loogie---yuck-o! | 73 | 0 months 1.2 | 9/14/2017 | 2 | Over weight | Less urine | F | 66 | 1 months 30 MG | 9/14/2017 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | Profuse vomiting, dizziness, dehydration, metallic taste in mouth, acetone taste and smell | This medicine poisoned me and I'm still having lasting issues! | F | 49 | 2 days .6 | 9/13/2017 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | Quit one week ago. I am so miserable still! Severe diarrhea, vomiting, pain under left breast, fatigue, hard breathing, runny nose, heart beating fast. I am not getting any better so far. This stuff is a nightmare. Hope they end up sued. Someone is going to die from this medicine. | Don't even let your Doctor prescribe it!! | F | 61 | 10 days 1.2 | 9/10/2017 |
