I don't know if it is just me but I started Saxenda 1 week ago. I have upped my dose to 1.2mg today but it is just not working for me. 8 still had my appetite when I was on 0.6 and i still have my appetite now? Could this change the higher dose i go because i feel like I am injecting myself with something but its pointless.
Is it just me or is my Saxenda not working?

Hi, Clewis!
According to the literature on Saxenda it takes about 2 weeks for it to start becoming effective.
I think you might give it a little more time but if you don't see any changes within another week or so you should probably contact your doctor. You're still on a relatively low dosage and they might suggest an adjustment in weekly increments.
