For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Week 1 down 4 lbs. Very little sickness, not craving food either. I eat because I know it's needed. I'm excited so far. Just moved up to 1.2 and still doing great."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Saxenda for two and a half months, and I have lost 28 pounds! I highly recommend it. It does make you feel sick, but it's well worth the outcome!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I began this medication 6 weeks ago. I read reviews first and thought, wow, this might work. Over the last 10 years, I have lost 135 lbs through diet and exercise. I am recovering from an injury and can't workout with the intensity I had, so I began this drug. I didn't notice any side effects or loss of appetite. The next week, I increased the dosage with no results either. From reading reviews, I thought, what's wrong with me that it doesn't work? I increased the dosage the third week only to feel sick, and thought, I don't want to feel this way. I rarely put reviews up, but I want people to know it's not just them, it didn't work for others as well."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Been on Saxenda for 6 weeks and have lost 19 pounds. I was sick for the first 2 weeks, guess my body was getting used to it. Now I'm fine. I love it. I have tried so many other things. This is the best."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started using Saxenda about a month ago - doing the increments in doses to this week at 2.4, so not quite 3 yet. First few weeks, no side effects, yay! Then last Thursday, feeling nausea with extreme (double you over) pain, so left work & hardly made it home & explosive diarrhea - left me drained, nauseous & sick the whole next day. Every day since then, extreme nausea & ill feeling coming in waves. Started at 259 lbs - down to 253. The ill feeling just won't go away. I think I might stop for a few days & see how I feel. I tried every diet, HCG too & now these awful side effects. So disappointed."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started taking Saxenda on Friday, so only 3 days in so far. However, every time I eat, I feel ill. Now I am experiencing stomach pain. Not for sure if it's built up gas or constipation. I don't want to be plus size, so I guess I will lose weight."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started on Feb 11, 16. Now at 3.0 max lost 12 lbs so far. Same thing, never hungry but still have dry mouth. Still feel a little sick after shot but not too bad. Heartburn can be bad at times, but starting using an acid-reducing product. One pill works well, maybe 12 hrs, not so for Tums or Rolaids, have to take too many, plus makes me sick. Taking shot after breakfast, good time for me. My work plan pays 80%, which is great. I will continue till I lose 50. First time in my life I don't think about food, so it's worth it... Stay positive, everyone."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "March 9, 2016, went to my doctor to receive my first prescription of Saxenda. I am at a dosage of 0.6 for one week, and every week I am to up my dosage. As of right now, it's only my third day of using it, but I do notice when I overeat, I feel very sick. I have not experienced any of the other side effects... hopefully I don't. I will continue to keep you updated."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took two doses of Saxenda. The first day was great! By the second day, I was so sick I couldn't move. I threw up for 20 straight hours. I thought I was dying. I was really hoping this would work for me, but after that experience, I am very apprehensive to take it again. I did lose 5 lbs vomiting. :("
