| 5 | Type 2 | None -- expect much better morning BG reading. And not hungry. | The difference in my morning blood sugars was 140 down to 90 in 2 days. I believe I am one of those this may work for. | F | 66 | 2 weeks 1X day | 11/9/2015 | 1 | For weight loss | A pregnant lady belly, full of gaz, strange voices coming out of it, terrible bloating, severe constipation, severe nausea, severe indigestion, stomach increased acidity, difficulty of eating any kind of raw vegetables. Muscles weakness and unstable mood and irritability. | I lost 4 kgs in one month , but it was a hell to live with it. I'd rather prefer to take the extra kilos back than to live with this nightmare experience | F | 53 | 1 months 1.2 | 11/5/2015 | 3 | for diabetes | Severe constipation, slight nausea | Too bad I cant use Victoza. It worked very well to get my blood sugars down and I lost almost 10 of the 25 I needed to lose, however the constipation was so bad my endocrinologist told me to stop. Was going toilet only once a week and very hard, even w stool soteners, laxatives plenty of h2o. Only milk of magnesia really worked . I think because I am already prone to constipation it wasn't good drug for me. | F | 45 | 3 months 1.6 | 11/1/2015 | 1 | Diabetes II | Started with migraines on days 1 and 2, 3-7 was all but a blur, I couldn't hold any food down, it was coming back up almost as fast as I could eat. Between the stomach aches, vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness, I was barely able to function! The last day of taking this, I was so weak that I slept 17 hours of the 24 hour day | I need to lose a few pounds, sure, but there are far better and more safe ways to o that. I wouldn't wish the way I have felt and as sick as I got on anyone, not even my worst possible enemy!! | F | 51 | 7 days .6 1X day | 10/27/2015 | 5 | Diabetes | None | I'm a retired RN, I was on 200 u Novlin N every day and 100 u Novolog. I was started on Victoza @ 1.8 for about 6 mo. When my son said his Dr increased him to 3.0 and his A1c came down to 5.5. So I very carefully started to titrate up and watching my blood sugars. I'm now at 2.8 and less than 10 units Novlin n at bedtime. I also got my D3 level up to 50. Today my A1c is 6.9 down from 8.9 and I feel like a human, no depression or tired and sleeping all the time. I'm thrilled. 2 shots a day, not 6 and all my blood work was within normal limits | F | 70 | 9 months 2.8 | 10/21/2015 | 4 | Type II Diabetes | Nausea and mild gastrointestinal effects. I already have IBS so the effects are negligible comparatively. Food when I actually feel like eating seems to taste too strongly so I don't eat much. No interest at all in sugary tastes. Only wish to drink water. | My morning blood sugars are around 85 which is a miracle. Even when I was pre-diabetic and when I was on insulin during pregnancy, I never had fasting blood sugars this low. | F | 45 | 3 weeks 1.2 mg | 10/15/2015 | 1 | diabetes | severe intestinal cramping and pain, severe flatulence, diarrhea, glands swelling, aggravated Hashimotos thyroiditis, caused A1C to INCREASE dramatically | Should be taken off the market | F | 60 | 3 months 1.6 mg | 10/7/2015 | 4 | my AC was at 14 | Sulfa eggs burps horrible stomach aches diarrhea. Stomach pains gas | But my sugar when I am testing it has been in 110 range which before was in the 300 and Ive lost about 30lbs in a month which I can deal with the nasty side effects. I haven't been hungry at all have to force myself to have a couple bites of food and I and not craving sweets as I did badly before. I and mm pleased with how it's helped me so far and I pray I can continue to take without any bad side effects | F | 46 | 1 months 1.2 mg | 9/20/2015 | 5 | my A1C was going up | No side effects | Love it. I've lost 30lbs. Feel great. I changed my diet light exercise. More energy brought my A1C down | M | 55 | 3 months 1.2 | 9/14/2015 | 3 | Diabetes Type 2 | Blurred vision, insomnia, itchy | Loved that it reduced my appetite and I lost 5 lbs in the first week.

Exhaustion from being sick 24 hours a day. | I don't know how anyone can hold a job taking this medication if they experience the same side effects that I did.

By day 5 they were unbearable . Could barely function on day 5. But it really lowered blood sugar. Just could not take anymore. | M | 70 | 5 days 1.6 | 8/12/2015 | 4 | to lower blood sugar | After a while, nausea subsides. Constipated at times and believed to be caused by this medication. Occasionally will have slight discomfort (not pain) in my right side which I will tell my doctor next visit. Works well for me. | F | 54 | 5 years 1.8 mg/3ml 1X day | 8/7/2015 | 3 | Blood sugar and weight | I am very sleepy. I burp a lot. My body hurts in my joints. My nose runs and I have a slighy head pounding. Good thing is that I am not hungry. But not much energy to exercise. About 14 hours after I take the shot I start to feel better. I am on the lowest dose now... How can I even consider going up on it next week? How long will this last???? | So very expensive. Do not know if I can continue with it. | F | 66 | 1 weeks .6 | 8/7/2015 | 1 | Type II Diabetes | Severe headache that would not go away, sinus pain, severe back and shoulder pain, occasional abdominal pain, bloating stomach, foul burps and gas, extreme fatigue, brain fog, depressed mood. | My blood sugar did go down and appetite decreased. But side effects were so severe that I could not function in my daily life. Felt terrible, exhausted and disconnected from my life. I'm also extremely concerned about the potential damage from this drug.

So far, love the side effect of nonappetite. | As a healthcare professional I have done a lot of research about Victoza and how it works. Think it can help patients in many ways but obviously everyone is different and some may not tolerate this. | F | 46 | 7 weeks 1.2 daily | 7/4/2015 | 3 | Control blood sugar | Nausea, lathargic, diaherra | Not sure how much longer I can continue.

Haven't been far from the bathroom since I started taking it. | F | 64 | 4 days .6 1X day | 7/3/2015 | 1 | Diabetic and weight loss | I had horrible continuous nausea with some vomiting. Almost continual diarrhea. Horrible metallic taste in mouth which is still lingering even after being off almost a month. Terrible indigestion and sour stomach. The sour stomach is also lingering. I couldn't eat correctly. I ended up eating soft carbs because my stomach was so sour. I couldn't drink water so I was getting dehydrated. My sugars were great but I wasnt losing weight. I finally decided I'd had enough and stopped it. | F | 51 | 6 weeks | 7/2/2015 |
