For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Am now up to 1.8 mg and feeling really unwell, loose bowels to like water tap 30 minutes after I eat or drink anything. Feeling really, really tired, exhausted, pain just under my left rib, either liver or pancreas, I think? So, spoke to my Dr, and she thinks my level is 1.2 mg, see how I go. My appetite has gone. So, it does work, but I don’t think I need such a high dose."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking this med 4 weeks ago. Before that, I was extremely slowly losing but had changed my lifestyle with walking, eating low carb, and an extremely clean diet. I have lost 3 lbs this month, but the meds made me exhausted and nauseated most days. I could not do my light workouts or even walk. Not wanting to eat much at all, and what I did was not the healthiest, as everything made me sick, so I would eat stuff that would go down easy. I’m thinking it’s counterproductive to a healthy lifestyle change. I even backed off the dosage. Not sure what to do. I paid for three months, so wanted to finish, but ugh, not feeling this."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is a big rip-off, four weeks, $400 out of pocket, and it doesn't work for me. I certainly won't be forking out another $800 for two more prescriptions that I am supposed to take. Side effects are nauseous, burping, constipation, rotten dry mouth, tired, loss of energy. To be honest, I am a lot worse off than what I was before - hardly had anything to eat and lost 1/2 kg - YES 1/2 KG IN FOUR WEEKS. I only have to lose 8 kg, about 17 lbs, no hope with this rubbish. Pharmaceutical company wins again."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Saxenda over 4 weeks ago. I am currently on a 2.4 ml dose. First week, I lost 1.5 kg, second week, I lost another kilo. On the third week, I was up and down, maybe due to menstruating. I lost another kilo the fourth week. I experienced side effects in the first week, such as nausea, and had to force myself to eat. I also have reflux, and this week, I'm feeling very lethargic and weak. Constipation was an issue from the 3rd week. After a few years on prednisone, I put on 25 kg. I have tried many diets to lose weight, and finally, I have some movement where the weight is going down."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I’ve been on Saxenda for a little more than a month now, have only lost 6 lbs. I’m thinking a lot of these reviews on here are fake. This med makes you feel sick and tired constantly, so I don’t know how people are talking of having energy. I have lost my craving for wine and coffee, which I drank a lot of, but otherwise no major breakthrough or weight loss, and I’m at full dose as of this week."
