I switched to ozempic because the Victoza had a side effect of dry mouth. - dripping down the back of my neck), occasional diarrhoea (awful) alternating with constipation (bearable), sleepiness, very mild nausea.

I force myself to eat dinner though. I physically and mentally feel so much better.This drug made me SO sick.


I cannot believe how in control I am.
I felt like I had gotten my life back but now I seem to be gaining it back.

I'm 65, female, exercise regularly, and eat well (5 years since I have eaten gluten).”

Symptoms- They haven't been unmanageable but sometimes more noticeable than others.

She prescribed me this medicine. Weight loss is nominal.

I do not normally have this reaction to most drugs so please be careful.I never felt nauseous.

It's now 7pm and I've been feeling nauseated, was kind of scared in the beginning but will go through it. My blood pressure and cholesterol have been great! This drug has literally changed my life in a way I really didn't think was possible. “Just started Victoza today to help me loss some weight. At baseline I have constipation issues so difficult to say if this drug is contributing to that. I just hope my anxiety milds back down on its own and I won't have to take medicine for it again. This week I’ve been nauseated, heartburn, fatigued, constipated, bloated, sweaty, headaches, not sleeping well.

I am not diabetic but do have hypothyroidism. I increased my dose a bit slower to get used to the medication and am now at 1.8 for 2.5 weeks.

I don't want the weight to fall off too fast so that I have time to train my body how to eat less without thinking about it. I also feel tired with little energy all the time. I feel miserable. Two days ago I started working up to 1.8 by advancing the clicks a bit more towards 1.8 each day. Am in my 50s, menopausal. Very few side effects. I will keep you all posted!



To summarise, taking Victoza I can easily estimate that I've lost twice as much weight in a week as what I would have by diet alone.

“I started victoza at a dose 0.6 on 1/27/18. It literally felt like I had the body aches associated with a horrible case of the Flu.

Cerner Multum™ provides the data within some of the Basics, Side Effects, Interactions, and Dosage tabs. Weight 240 at 5'8". I tend to not have seconds for my dinner, and end up waiting for others to finish their meals instead of continuing to eat after others are done, which is a positive change in behavior. I am consistently losing 2.5 lbs a week.



I've loss about 5 pounds so far but I'm Ok with doing this slowly. For me it seems that gradually going up to the required dose has really minimized the side effects. I called my doctor who said stop taking it. Victoza dose for weight loss and diabetes management should preferably start with 0.6 mg measure per day. So far so good.” My dr also recommended I take the Pill Alli (over the counter-you can find at walmart) So with this I feel really good.

I still have 60 lbs to go, but I'm hopeful I will finally get this weight off.”

The tiny needle took getting use to. Mow I'm struggling to cut portions but cant always hungry and I gained 15 pounds back!!

Anyway I feel great, I sleep better going up to 1.2 dose next week.

Except nausea all looks good.

You have to watch yourself.

Of course not made for everyone, but I'd give it a chance.I started taking Victoza 3 1/2 weeks ago.

Sad so sad!

I'll keep doing Victoza for another month to see what results I'll get.”
