For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been on Tradjenta for 90 days. I have gained 13 pounds, my daily fasting numbers are up by 20 points, my joints and back ache regularly, I have diarrhea several times a day and I have no energy. Today, I called my doctor with all of these side effects, and he told me to stop the medication and keep track of my daily fasting blood sugar. I wish I could do it on my own, with no drugs!"

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 have been taking Tradjenta for about 6 months. I have had numerous sinus infections, I'm tired, my joints are so painful, and I've gained weight. I did not think anything of it until I decided to figure out what changed, and this all started after taking Tradjenta. I cannot wait to stop this medication. I am switching to Jardiance, I know that also has side effects, but I am willing to try it out. The constant feeling of having a cold with Tradjenta is not worth it anymore."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Experienced low heart rate (dropped from usual 75 to 62) an hour into my 1st Tradjenta 5 mg tablet. Felt sleepy, tired, and breathless. Glucose reading 2 hours post-meal shot up to 15.7 (usual 11 to 12). Heart rate took 8 hours to go back to normal. Never taking Tradjenta again."
