For Type 2 Diabetes "I took Tradjenta for three days. Severe headache, stomach pain, joint and muscle pain, depression! Stay away from this drug, it is very toxic. I am still having issues from it five months after I stopped taking it. It causes nightmares also. It is a horrible drug that I can't imagine how it was ever approved for distribution."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I started taking Tradjenta for 2 months. Recently, as this time passed, I have been waking up short of breath with lots of muscle pain, back pain, stomach pain, headaches, and nosebleeds. I have been freaking miserable. I literally took my last dose before I wrote this. I am glad I did research. I knew it was something different I was taking. Glad I read these reviews, done with this rubbish."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Started Tradjenta almost 6 weeks ago. I thought it was fine, but I started having bad anxiety, headaches. I'm tired all the time, and worst of all, my sugar has gotten higher! Dr. is switching me to Januvia, and I hope it helps. I can't take feeling like this. I would not recommend this drug for diabetes!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "I was taking Januvia, but my insurance will no longer cover it, so I was then switched to Tradjenta. I take 5 mg Tradjenta with Metformin daily. My blood sugar is not as low or stable as it was with the Januvia, and I am having very bad muscle and joint pain, severe headaches, back pain, and weakness. I never had these symptoms previously, so it must be the Tradjenta. I never associated the problems with this medication until I read an article on it. I will be contacting my doctor regarding this medication."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I take metformin/glipizide, and my doctor added Tradjenta 5 mg. I took it, and within an hour I was dizzy, had a bad headache for over 12 hours, back pain, and nausea. It did lower my blood sugar a little, but these side effects were overwhelming. Not going to continue with this medication."
