I titrated up to the 1.8 dose 2 weeks ago and still have the side effect of GERD and constipation. I'm hoping both improve with time. If not, I'm not sure I'll continue the Victoza. I hate feeling like this.

Yes. The side effects do eventually stop or subside quite a bit but the weight loss stops to.

I feel like I'm loosing weight too fast! 13lbs in just 6 days. So I am worried about that. How long before the weight loss stops? The nausea became vomiting yesterday but my numbers are now between 70 - 129. I cant handle the vomiting so I am really hoping it leaves. I go up to 1.2 tomorrow.

From experience, they probably will. I started with .6 about a month ago. After a week went to 1.2 and yesterday started 1.8. The first 2 or 3 days after starting .6 and 1.2 I had migraines and nausea, some diarrhea (2 bouts of throwing up sensations after starting 1.2). I went to 1.8 yesterday and today feel REALLY nauseas and have bad agita (I had soup for lunch 9 hrs ago and I still feel like it's repeating on me). I'm going to try and get through the next few days. Before my numbers were in the 170s and now I'm 90-110.

Hoping these side effects do go away am on the 1.8 dose for 3 weeks now before Victoza was in the high 200 to 400 and am now running 108 to 128 fasting and around 140 at lunch numbers are much better but the side effects I hope end soon, especially the nausea and headaches

Nausea is a very common side effect and often reason for patients to stop treatment.
Good luck.
