Saxenda - How can I stop the nausea and vomiting?

I just recently found out that if I give the injection in my thighs I don't get the vomiting and nausea. My physician told me to stay at the 1.2 dosage as that was the maximum that didn't make me nauseous. I always gave the shots in my stomach, alternating sides each night. For some reason, I started bruising at the injection sites sometimes, so I switched to alternating injections in my upper thighs. Last week while spinning the end of the pen I went over the 1.2 dosage by several clicks. I took the shot anyway thinking I'll just live with the nausea. I didn't get sick! I've tried 1.8 for a few days and have had no problems. I'll go up next week on the dosage and see how that one goes. At some point, I'll try the upper arm to see how that site affects me. Changing the injection site seems to work for me.

Im on day 7 of Saxenda and I have vomited every single day from day one. I can not keep anything down at all except a morning protein shake and sometimes an afternoon protein shake. Come evening even if I eat the smallest amount I immediately vomit. The worst part of it all is I haven't even lost a single pound which is utterly baffling as I am consuming 300 calories a day because of the nausea etc so it literally makes zero sense that I haven't even lost a pound. I feel like im poisoning myself for no reward but don't want to give up because the reviews and results are so great. Has anyone else been on it and hasn't lost anything?

OK so I take my shot in the morning and I'm fine up until about 8pm. Last night I was vomiting at 2 30 am. But tbh I don't find it too bad once I've been sick. All the nausea goes away. If I eat too much I throw up too . I've lost 20lbs in just over 3 weeks

I have been on saxenda for 5 days and have lost a staggering 6kgs. Put mostly down to the vomiting and nausea. I can only tolerate 100g white fish steamed with lemon for breakfast and again the same at dinner, and that has only been for 2 days cause the vomiting wont let up. I have been back to my GP and now have zofran and maxalon tablets for the nausea but even these together haven't helped. I'm not giving up cause the weight loss is worth every bit but of it is horrific.

I've been taking Victoza, since September 2019. I started at .6mg. The doctor slowly raised my dosage to about nausea. Now the doctor has me taking 1.8mg. Whenever I got nauseous it was because I ate too much or ate something fattening. I've lost 60lbs so far. I've recently upped my dosage to 2.4mg. I will inject it for five days and won't inject it for two. So that's five on two off. It works for me. The one time I did throw up, it seemed like when people have gastric bypass surgery and they eat too much. So I just stopped fighting against myself. I completely changed my diet for life.

I just started 2 days ago and the nausea and vomiting have been non stop. I'm not sure if I should stop it or if that's normal with the first few doses? And what's usually the best time to take it? Every time I try taking something for the nausea I end up throwing up and I don't know what to do.

I’ve been taking Saxenda for a week now. The sickness just hit me today.. I was told to take 2 strips of electrical tape and put one up and down over belly button then cross the other one over in it said it takes about 30 minutes before it works .. Also told to put a little bit of salt on back of hand and lick it off and it stops sickness too.. hopefully these help some ppl.. I’m giving it a try nothing to lose!! God bless have a great day!!

hii, i have had very bad wind and reflux on the evenings and causing me quite alot of stomach pain. I obtained saxenda on a private prescription and there is no advice regarding stopping this medication, does anyone know if you have to wean off it or can stop altogether?

I have come to learn staying hydrated is super important and not going to bed with an empty stomach as I find the mornings extreme if I have not eaten much the day before. Having said that, I use a prescription called ondansetron for the nauseousness periodically. The vomiting will eventually go away if you stay on it long enough, I find the nausea to come back frequently though.

Honestly, I feel like I'm going to give up the ghost. I don't think I can take much more. I've been on it 3 days and vomited and / or had diarrhea for all 3. I had to leave work early today because of how bad a shape I was in. Fortunately, tomorrow and Sunday I don't work. I'll give it 2 more days, but if I don't feel better on Sunday, I'm done. This is the worst.

I just switched from pm to am with Saxenda and the first night after that switch I vomited. Otherwise I’ve been extremely nauseous. My neurologist gave me ZOFRAN for the nausea. My mistake was I took it with the shot in the am and got sick that night. I should take the ZOFRAN before bed, too.

Take the shot before going to bed along with anti-nausea medication that causes drowsiness and you should sleep through the nausea period. My coworker had the same problem and when he switched to nights and added the anti-nausea meds, his nausea and vomiting stopped and he lost 40lbs in five months. Good luck!

This is the same complaint people had when it was victoza. There isn't much you can do about it. People had to stop the victoza at times because they had so much nausea
