For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Tried Saxenda on 0.6 mg for 2 days and lost nothing. Upped it to 1.2 mg the 3rd time and for the first 9 hours it was okay. I just had no appetite and kept burping. It slowly turned into chills and nausea as the evening went on - I vomited twice and my heart was beating fast. It felt similar to phentermine and I was quite jittery. I felt truly dreadful, didn’t get a wink of sleep, and ended up having to call into work sick! It felt like I had been poisoned, I certainly won’t be taking this stuff again. I think it’s really sad that we feel the need to legally poison ourselves because we can’t control our hunger, when most of the time our hunger is just an inner emptiness that we try to fill with food. Injecting this garbage isn’t getting to the root cause. I’ve read about people getting gallstones and pancreatic issues from taking this stuff, I’m not surprised after the way I felt! Healthy eating and the gym for me!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I lost 13 lbs on Saxenda. After suffering from nausea every day and then forgetting to take it for 2 days and dialing the pen back to .6 and then up to 1.2, I vomited all over my office and thought, 'Come on, the reality is I need bariatric surgery or at least the willingness to try and get some better help.' Of course, I gained it all back as soon as I went off it. My question is, this knockoff from Vitalosa has 'great results,' but what are the long-term effects?"
