Liraglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Unstable medication and poor customer support. Was sold a 6-week supply but it expires after 30 days. Has to be administered with a needle, but the needles are not supplied, and the doctor and the pharmacy took 10 days to get them to me. So, I paid full price for a half supply of usable medication. It succeeded in making me sick. I felt awful from the moment I started the medication, but I actually gained weight."

Liraglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Disappointed with Saxenda as I am on my third week, and I've only lost 2 lbs. I feel sick in the afternoons, which is okay as it stops me from eating too much, but clearly I'm still able to overeat as I've only lost 2 lbs. I can't see how everyone else is losing lots of weight, but not me. I started at 202 lbs, and I'm 5 ft 9 in. I'm going to keep going for another few weeks to see if there's any shift, but I feel gutted that I'm not losing weight. It's costing me a lot of money, and if I don't see results after the time the last pen is used, then I'll stop using it."

Liraglutide for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on and off using these pens the past 6 weeks. In a week, I lost 10 lbs to start with on 0.6. I had no side effects and felt great and shocked with how much fell off in the first week. By week 2, I'd lost a stone. Came off it for the weekend as drinking and at a festival. On Monday, back on it, upped the dose, first few hours headache, felt awful and that night threw up. Following weekend, came off it as was going on holiday and was off it for 2 weeks, gained 4 lbs. Again, back on it at 0.8, a few hours in and headache, and then was sick that night again. Came off it on the weekend as a birthday was happening and drinking. Started my 3rd pen 3 days in and this time had diarrhea for over 24 hours with a little sickness. The plan is now to not come off it and do these last 3 pens, had 5 in total hoping to get at least a stone off. I always feel within a few hours it’s working. I get a dry mouth and don’t feel hungry and don’t eat a lot."

Liraglutide 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."
