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) "3 weeks, I’m averaging a 3 lb weight loss per week. I am the first patient my Dr prescribed it to. So I must return in a week for my update to monitor my blood. My personal experience on this injection- it’s not painful at all, I don’t feel anxious or jittery, I don’t get energy from it. But I’m only experiencing 2 side effects. It does make me constipated. Destroyed my appetite. No exercise or diet- would lose more."
