Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I was prescribed this for weight loss and it has been the worst thing ever. Bedridden and unable to work for 6 days now. Vomiting and diarrhea the whole day. Complete loss of control of my bowels. Unable to care for my kids. BP dropped to 74/48 at one stage, been to ED yesterday for IV fluids but today it's worse than ever! Severe gastric upset, gas, pain, weakness, fatigue. Constant nausea that maxalon and ondanz doesn't touch! I feel so awful! Don't risk this! I have heard of many now who have had these severe symptoms. I have not been this sick in 15 years! Diarrhea every 15-30 mins using nappy rash cream on my bum now. Nightmare!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "My doctor injected me with a trulicity pen on Friday in her office. As time has gone on, now Sunday, I'm so sick. I have severe abdominal pain, extremely sick feeling, threw up once, have diarrhea, terrible sulphur burps and gas. No appetite which I suppose is a good thing to a point but I'm scared to eat due to the nauseating feeling. Over all I just don't feel good. I can not wait for it to wear off. I will never take this medication again, these side effects are not worth it."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I've been taking it for a couple of months now and have zero side effects, except when I eat fatty or sugary foods. I will get sick to my stomach and vomit. However, I don't mind it as it serves as a wake-up call! It keeps me aware of what I should not be eating in the first place. I hope it will continue to help with my blood sugar levels and weight loss. I am grateful for this medicine. Thank you!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I have been on Trulicity for about 3 months. The worst 3 months of my life. After having severe stomach pains I was referred to a surgeon to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy after a CT scan showed acute Pancreatitis, and numerous other stomach issues. The surgeon only told me I needed to review my medications with my doctor. Never once telling me of the complications with Trulicity! I experienced every side effect from blurred vision to severe cramping, abdominal pain, racing heartbeat, fatigue, to constant diarrhea. This drug needs to be removed. I have been in so much indescribable pain that anxiety and depression kicked in. Not knowing what was wrong. I am waiting for it to leave my body. This has been a complete nightmare."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I injected one time about 5 days ago, the first night was ok and the first day was ok. The second day I had horrible nausea, the third day horrible sharp stomach pains, can’t eat anything without having sharp pains, fourth day uncontrollable diarrhea (immodium doesn’t work) along with sharp stomach pains that feel like so= bad. Waking up at night to horrible gas and sulfur smelling burps, fifth day again with watery diarrhea, almost went to the hospital, can’t eat or drink , feel dehydrated and depressed"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I’m not a diabetic. I developed hypothyroidism after my daughter was born and gained a chunk of weight. I wasn’t morbidly obese or big enough to qualify for most meds etc. I was just uncomfortable with the weight gain and my BMI was considered over weight. I tried so many diets, exercise, and lifestyle changes and could NOT loose the 30 pounds I had gained. My doctor suggested using Trulicity off label for weight loss, saying some thyroid patients have had good results with it. I’ll start by saying it did help me and I’ve lost all the weight. But I should point out that a big reason you loose weight is because you are so nauseas in the beginning. The first month I couldn’t eat anything. That caused my stomach to shrink. And once I could eat again it only took like literally 2 bites of food to make me feel uncomfortably full. It’s like having some twisted form of a gastric bypass. You will definitely loose weight on this, but you will feel tired and nauseas."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "Hello Everyone, My doctor suggested I go on Trulicity as I had to lose weight and prevent my insulin resistance from becoming Diabetes type 2. I am also taking Metaphormin 750 x 2 a day. This is my first week. Yes, I had, headache, nausea. I also realized I have acid reflux if I eat processed foods or fried foods. That leads me to eat healthier and much less, thus I'm losing weight. I feel better this morning, and I mean better from the symptoms but also better than how I usually feel in the morning; More energetic, more focused! But I am super terrified from the reviews I am reading here, which are mostly negative. And I don't want to cause any serious issues to myself just trying to prevent Diabetes. Anyway, good luck to everyone here and great health!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I needed to lose 60 pounds. I finally to see a dr who specializes in treating obesity. I don't have diabetes, but my sugar was a little high. I started on Trulicity. I am now at 3.0 mg. I have lost over 20 pounds, and I know, I know, I have NOT been active and I have been eating and drinking badly all summer. No weight gain, but I am at a bit of a plateau. Now that summer is over, I am trying to break the plateau this week by upping activity and decreasing food intake. But now to the symptoms: I will say again, I do NOT watch what I eat and I eat rubbish way too often. I had my gall bladder out 10 months ago, so I bet that doesn't help with the fat digestion. BUT...there have been, I think, three occasions when I am having a #2 (and constipation is a bit of an issue), I will puke very mightily at the same time. I keep bags near the toilet now. I know I shouldn't let myself be constipated. Other than that, no ill effects. I will improve my diet!!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "Doctor put me on this to try and help with my PCOS issues and weight loss help as she was worried for me. But worst decision ever made!! The diarrhoea is horrible I can’t even sleep as it just shoots out the other end my day to day activities are cut short as I’m always running to the loo!! I am a busy mum to a 2.5 year old boy. So running around doing things is hard when your tummy has other ideas. The Sulfur burbs are absolutely disgusting!! I don’t know how this is even a good thing as all it’s done is make me sicker and my levels of everything have dropped and I am more exhausted then ever!! Please read up and make sure you have time and the loo close by if you go on this."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I've been on Trulicity for 6 weeks. Two weeks on .75 mg and three weeks on 1.50 mg. I've lost around 15 lbs. My morning sugars are around 88-110. That's just amazing. I'm also not hungry. I keep forgetting to cut my portions down, but after a few bites I'm done. I have had some gastro issues, but I'm getting used to them and they're calming down. Mostly the disgusting "eggy" burps after sitting or standing from a lying position and excess gas. Eating earlier, along with not having cravings to eat later in the day really helps with both. I do notice that the drug starts to wear off a day or two before my next injection; my appetite increases, my AM sugars are a little higher and the gastro issues start hitting me. Out of three boxes, I haven't had any pen failure, it's so easy to use and so far the gastro issues do not outweigh the amazing benefits. I'll know in a month how low I've gotten my A1C, but I already know it's going to be incredible."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "Worst experience ever! Straight away terrible nausea, bloating and gas/burping. Complete loss of appetite - including food smell sensitivity. Then the vomiting started. Daily, repeatedly. Woke up through the night vomit. Ended up in hospital. Tested for pancreatitis. Day 7 and still forcing myself to eat. Can barely tolerate anything. Stomach bloated. Brain fog. Will not continue."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "Been taking it since May 2022, I did feel stomach pain until September on and off but now disappeared. I have constipation but tolerable. I had issues with experiencing excruciating hunger pangs, and constantly eating for that reason, gaining a lot of weight even if eating healthy. Trulicity helped eliminate hunger pangs at least for 3 days of the week. Lost 10lbs in first few weeks of the initial dose, then hit a plateau. Started losing weight again on 4.5 mg dose. Lost 26lbs in total. Have. All blood work is great."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "I’ve been on Trulicity 0.75 for 17 months. I feel great and have lost 37 pounds. For the first few weeks I felt slightly nauseous and tired. Throughout I’ve alternated between mild diarrhea and mild constipation. But it’s completely worth it. Initially my weight loss was about one pound per week but it’s slowed to 1-2 pounds per month. I do not consciously restrict my diet in any way. But I find I eat much less. My fasting BSL went from 123 to 99. This drug has worked miracles for me and I hope I can stay on it indefinitely. I get it for free on the Lily Cares program."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) "Was taking Ozempic which I loved, but it was backed up !!! so I gave Trulicity a try. I started craving sweets and started having an appetite gained 7 pounds back so Ozempic is back, fixing to start back on it !!!. Trulicity I only took one dose and that’s my last so Trulicity is not for me!!!"
