After three weeks of taking this medication I am giving up. I'm sick all day with nausea and vomiting and diarrhea when I least expect it. What can I expect? Do I slowly reduce the dose or just quit taking it?
Plan to stop Victoza. What can I expect?

If Victoza doesn't work for you, then tell your doctor and just stop taking it. I had to go cold turkey on it when my insurance company wouldn't pay for it for a month. Its not like your going to have withdrawel symptoms You take medications to make yourself feel better- if your feeling worse, then its probably time to try something else.
