Hi I was on Saxenda for weightloss for just over a month and when my dose was up to 1.8 I had severe gastro symptoms. Fought along and got up to the 3.0 dose and then stopped due to the nausea and also only losing 2kgs in 5 weeks.
My dr has recommended to try it again for 2 weeks on the full 3.0 dose but I'm in my 2nd day in have had the worst nausea again with vommiting.
Reading the reviews everyone seems to have such positive feedback and little side effects..
Am I only the one that is experiencing this?
I'm so sick with hardly any weightloss achieved. Thanks for any feedback.

I found this after searching my horrible symptoms. I haven’t been able to move up to my second dose yet due to severe spinning, nausea and sickness which makes me loose half a day in bed. It’s now two weeks in and the sulphur burps have started. I have lost 7lb and have no interest or obsession over food which for me is amazing as I am always hungry. But I’m considering whether all this is actually worth it. You cant live with such symptoms if you work it’s impossible (I am off at present). I have tried twice to increase to 1.2 from 0.6 but I literally am rolling around on my bathroom floor and vomiting. Wondering if. better to stay at 0.6 however know my body will get used to the dose and effects will lessen!
I have been on it for 6 weeks and made it to 2.4 before having nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea for 3 days straight. It was terrible. My doctor told me if I went off it I had to start from the beginning again and work my way up. I did talk to my doctor and he said try pepto bismol which I did and it help ease everything a little but I still felt nauseous. I like you was starting to see and feel results
I can't imagine starting over at the 3.0 dosage. I'm just finishing my first week at the 0.6 dosage and am dreading tonight to bump it up to 1.2. I was so sick the first few days last week. I'm hoping my body has adjusted but there's no way I could ever think of going straight to dosage 3.0. How are you doing?
