Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "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 Maxolon and Ondansetron 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) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I have been on Trulicity for over 9 months now, and I have not experienced any major side effects. My A1C went from a 13 to a 6.3. I have lost over 23 lbs. My BSL is within the normal range. My readings daily used to be over 300. I am at 100 or 103 at the most. The Dr. noticed that my thyroid numbers have been slightly elevated, so we are keeping a close watch on that."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I am pre-diabetic and I take 1000 mg Metformin 2x a day and started Trulicity as my A1C was 5.9 and I have a non-active lifestyle and 45 lbs over my goal weight. Over the past 18 weeks, I have lost 31 lbs at about 1-2 lbs a week. No adverse effects from Trulicity except for light-headedness once in a while and the site of the injection itching. It has caused me to change my eating habits as I feel like my stomach has been reduced. I started coming off my HDL medication and expect to terminate my HPB medication at my next doctor's visit. I would suggest to hang in there. I tried lots of injectors, and this is the first one to work so well and produce great results. My Metformin was also cut in half, AIC now 3.8, as when I was 22 years old."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "My wife was on this mess for 2 weeks. On day 10, she was admitted into the hospital, just about dead. It caused multiple issues. Simply unethical to even produce such harmful medications. BEWARE!!! This stuff can literally kill you in a very, very, very short amount of time."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I tried Trulicity for 4 months, the stomach upset and sulfur burps were the worst, not to mention the stomach pain, nausea, and increased my acid reflux. Had to take two Protonix and Prilosec a day and still had heartburn from this injection. It's been 3 weeks since I stopped Trulicity. I am doing much better but still have the burps that I never had before this injection. Depending on what I eat, they turn into sulfur burps. Dropped my A1C from 8.8 to 8.4, lost 8 lbs. But not worth the stomach issues."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I've been on Trulicity since January of this year, having one dose once a week. It still makes me feel nauseous. My side effects are I can't eat, bloating, diarrhea, painful pain in the lower abdomen. I've mentioned all this to my doctor, and she keeps saying my body just needs to get used to it. Don't think it will ever get used to this."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "My doctor attended a seminar and came back and changed my Humalog and put me on Trulicity. I recently had a triple bypass (heart surgery) and was very concerned about this action. I did research on this medication and found it was only tested on animals, not humans. It caused throat tumors in the animals and pancreatitis cancer. I then decided to see if anyone posted any reviews, and there are over 600 hundred. Thank you all for your reviews. You helped me and prevented me from serious complications. I did not take the medicine and called my doctor and informed them of this. You should make your own decision on what to put in your body. Doctors are about money and experiments, and they receive incentives."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Been on the 0.75 dose for 4 weeks now. Just got the next month's worth of the 1.5 dose but I am yet to take it. I have lost 15 lbs in 4 weeks. It completely subdues my appetite. I eat far less food than I used to before. I overall have no side effects other than nausea if I overeat. I can (and do) eat anything that I want to, but only a few bites at a time. The leaner and healthier the meal is, the better it settles."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "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, an extremely sick feeling, threw up once, have diarrhea, terrible sulfur 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. Overall, I just don't feel good. I cannot wait for it to wear off. I will never take this medication again, these side effects are not worth it."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Injected myself for the first time on a Friday night. Feeling very pleased as my levels dropped to 7s. Sunday arvo out and about with hubby. Started getting bad stomach pains. Just before getting into the car, I started projectile vomiting. It wouldn’t stop. Very embarrassed as this was on the footpath and road, and people could see. Pain still very intense in my abdomen. Got home and still projectile vomiting. Doctor prescribed me medicine to stop the vomiting. That worked, but the pain in my abdomen just intensified more. Had foul sulfur burping as well. Later that night was fully constipated, but did finally manage to go. Thought yay finally no more pain. Wrong! 5 minutes later explosive diarrhea nonstop. I’m still in intense pain, still got diarrhea, haven’t been to work all week. Never ever have I felt such intense pain. Doctors daily and still no relief. WORST medication ever! Stay well away from this torture drug!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "TRULICITY lowered my A1C from 11 to 6.5 in only a few months. At first use, I had mild symptoms like nausea and gas for maybe only the first 2 weeks. Other than that, I only had one bout of constipation that took 4 days to resolve. The constipation made me feel sick and I did have to limit food and was in bed for 2 days, but I figured out why it happened after tolerating the med for several months. I got comfortable with my diet and ate the wrong foods and overate. I ate greasy, sugary, and large portions in the week of the bad constipation. I immediately went back to smaller meals, no sugar, low carbs, and no greasy foods, and I was back on track. This was on the 1.5 MG dose I had been on for a while. People need to know that the harsh symptoms are coming from not regulating their diet and eating/drinking habits. That's why so many people get nausea, vomiting, and so on. You can't eat whatever you please on TRULICITY and expect it to not give adverse symptoms. Big no-no! Don't fool yourself."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I took one shot of Trulicity 2 weeks ago. I missed a whole week of work because of nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and vision problems. I can’t think straight. I called my doctor and told her I was not taking this again. It’s been 2 weeks and I still feel horrible! Dizziness and nausea are terrible. Achy all over. How long does this stay in our bodies?"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I'm glad I started using Trulicity prior to reading some of these reviews, otherwise I would've never used it. I have been using Trulicity for a couple of years now and I am very happy with it. I am afraid of needles, so I'm still scared of doing the injection and still experience a little pain at the injection site, but overall I am very pleased with it. Prior to starting this medication, my blood sugar was extremely high and my weight was over 330 pounds. I first started with a low dose of 0.75, and over the past two years, I have had an increase to 1.5 and currently on a dosage of 3.0. My blood sugar is very well controlled now and I am pleased to say my weight is under 200 pounds. I have experienced a little nausea if my stomach is too full."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I was put on Trulicity to go with my Metformin (1000 mg 2x a day) in late July of 2018. My doctor warned me that I might get nauseous the first few weeks after the shot when I eat too much, something that was high fat or something greasy, and that I was to just try to go with it and not eat additional carbs like saltines or bread to calm my stomach. She was right. I got nauseous. After 2 months, I had lost 20 lbs., but my sugars were the same. I changed my diet, eating no gluten, no sugar, and low carb, lots of veggies, and higher non-animal protein. I went back to my endocrinologist, and my A1C was down to 5.7, my fasting blood sugar 91, and my after-meal blood sugar down to 118-130. I had lost an additional 20 lbs.! So in 6 months, 40 lbs. total."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Am thrilled with Trulicity, no issues or side effects. My sugar level every morning is under 100 and was way higher previously. Have lost 19 pounds in 7 weeks. I just gave up all sugar and eat like I normally do. I was not sure at first about Trulicity but now am a believer!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Trulicity almost killed me with gassy diarrhea. I was on it for about 4 months. It is a very violent drug. I've been off of it for 3 weeks and still have bad symptoms. Lost around 25 lb from pooping liquid, and I thought I was going to blow up from the gas. While going through this, I have heard of similar symptoms from other friends."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "2nd Review: (I did my first review on 2018-10-25). I started Trulicity 5/2018, and for the first 5 months, I thought the gastro side effects may well kill me. I was very close to discontinuing. BUT... My A1C went from 10.6 (yikes!) to 6.4, and as of 1/2019, it is at 5.7 - hard to argue those results. This drug has commanded me to eat differently or face the consequences. In fact, the truth is, I don't eat a lot anymore at all. When I do, it's smaller portions, little grain products, light fiber because I feel full all the time. I've lost 15 pounds. Having made it through 5 months of OMG bathroom NOW issues... The view from the other side is pretty great."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Diabetes for 8 years, taking 2000 mg Metformin. Dr. added 0.75 mg Trulicity per week. No real change in BSL (blood sugar levels) - still staying in the 180-225 range in fasting levels in the morning. Not really exercising. No big side effects either. On the day she changed me to 1.25 mg pen, I got a refill on my 0.75 mg pens plus the 1.25 mg pens a day or 2 later. So using the 0.75 mg pens 2x week - this has made the weight drop off and the appetite go down. I've lost 22 lbs in 3 months, which is a good rate and so encouraging to stay at it. No real bad side effects that would make me want to get off Trulicity. Diarrhea seems to come with eating fats. Maybe the 2x week is better for me. I'm only paying about $30 per 4 pen box on my insurance, so it is affordable. Just wonder if I ever had to stop using Trulicity - would the weight and appetite come back."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I started Trulicity about a year ago because the medication I was on kept crystallizing and was hard to inject. I have lost weight, about 22 pounds, over the course of a year. The biggest things to get used to were the nausea and the diarrhea, but after giving 4 weeks to adjust to the medication, my blood sugar does not spike like it used to, and I felt better. I don't have my usual cravings for anything bad for me, but I do have an appetite. I tell anyone who needs to lose a few pounds and lower blood sugar to stick with it. It will get better. I can't complain about the medication. All anti-diabetic agents cause stomach issues. Hang in there."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Been on Trulicity for a year now and have lost 35 lbs. A1C is right where it needs to be. I used to take Metformin, and it was a nightmare with having to deal with diarrhea, extreme stomach nausea, and just anytime that I was out and about with errands or out to eat and having to worry or stress if I was going to have to rush getting to a restroom. Trulicity does have its side effects of fatigue here and there. It also suppresses appetite, which is a good thing. Stools are much better other than a spell of diarrhea once in a while, but nothing compared to Metformin. Trulicity is also easier to deal with-just one shot once a week compared to Metformin, where I was pilled to death at 500 mg, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, Monday through Sunday, 365 days a year."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I have been using Trulicity for about two months now, and it works. My blood sugar used to be between 140 to 160 after work daily. Since I started using Trulicity, it has been between 85 to 95 daily. I have had no side effects and have even lost some weight using this. I have nothing but good things to say about Trulicity."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Nope! Trulicity is not for me! Vomiting every day multiple times, nausea, fatigue. I can't even lift my arm to brush my teeth or walk 10 feet without feeling like I'm going to pass out. Heart beating out of my chest. Only had one dose, never again. Poison!!!"

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I started on the lower dosage and had absolutely no side effects. I stayed on that dosage for 8 weeks and started on the higher dosage. Now this new dosage has given me all the side effects. I will say they aren’t horribly bad. I can survive the side effects because my A1C has gone from 9.5 to 6.3."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "This is the worst medicine ever, and I’ve taken quite a few. I had to take Trulicity because my insurance won’t cover Victoza without a fight, and this is the second time I’m given low-rated/poorly tolerated medication for this reason. Thanks, Tricare. That same night, I had awful stomach cramping and diarrhea. Then the stomach pain was a little less severe but more persistent. I also suffered fatigue, constipation, bloating, sulfur burps, heartburn, nausea, dizziness, poor sleep, nightmares in addition to the stomach pain. Once it was so bad, it woke me up! I had constipation switched with diarrhea and heartburn for almost 2 weeks, and I stopped the medicine already. It stays in your system for DAYS and still messes with you. It’s awful."

Trulicity (dulaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "For the love of anything, don't take this if you can avoid it. I've taken Trulicity for 3.5 months now, hoping my body will somehow tolerate it. Not the case. I've lost over 40 lbs. I feel like I have food poisoning every day. Bloated. Diarrhea, constipation, horrid nausea. Now I am starting to vomit. Losing weight is good, but not like this."
