 4  Weight Control - pre-diabetic Constipation The drug worked incredibly well to cut back on eating , one just never feels hungry. I had to force myself to eat , however i stopped due to constipation . Perhaps it had something to do with not eating M 56 2 years

 3  Type 2 Diabetes nausea, gall bladder removal, weight loss, fatigue I have been taking Victoza for 3 years. Right away I experienced a big reduction in hunger, and could only eat small portions of food. It lowered my blood sugar within a week and keeps it stable. I did feel fatigue and nausea that never goes away. Nausea is helped only when taking anti-nausea meds. Fatigue is strong and I am always exhausted. I had to stop it for a few days due to a flu, and the nausea and fatigue went away within 2 days, and came back within a day of re-starting it. I lost 30 pounds in the first year and then have been at the same weight, even though I eat way less than I did before Victoza. About a year and a half in, my gall bladder went bad and had to be removed. Now I am at the 3 year mark, and feeling pain in the gall bladder area, along with increased sweating, nausea, and vomiting every few days for the last month. I suspect I am having pancreas problems, probably from the Victoza. Am going to my GI dr next week to get checked out. It did help for a while, but I am planning to change to something else, because I suspect if I don’t, I will have pancreas trouble. So I am 50/50 on recommending this med. It did help with weight loss and stabilizing blood sugar, but the nausea, fatigue, and gall bladder removal are harsh side effects. F 59 3 years

 3  Weight loss Nausea only when upping the dose (settles after the first day), extreme appetite suppression, excessive sweating from face (dripping!), foul smelling urine Havent noticed much weight loss, maybe 5lbs since I started 40 days ago.

 5  Thyroid weight gain caused joint pr Hyperness, maybe because I have fibromyalgia, arthritis which makes me so tired. I also have hashimoto which is hyper and low thyroid,to be clear. I am always tired always. I eventually gained 60 pounds way over weight. Recently thyroid doctor prescribed victoza. I started feeling myself right away. I do have ADHd to begin, along with depression and bipolar. 1 day on 1.8 took hunger away completely. I lost 2 pounds in 4 days. That is amazing and I'm excited because I took only 1 dose Skipped next 3 days to see side affects. Day 5 and I'm eating small portions periodically but not really hungry at all, however you must eat or your body feels like your stomach needs food, like when you're hungry and starving & feel like throwing up, even growls but you actually don't want to eat, but your stomach knows u need food if u get my just. I have also trouble sleeping since first dose, and nausea. I ate forcing myself because u need nutrients regardless. . I haven't heard people feeling like I do but maybe because I have several.medical issues and mental which triggers u differently. .on the bright side I love energy, I'm so extremely happy I can shed weight which helps my joint pains and I'm more active then I've been in a while. Also no jitters or anxiety. People say u adjust.. does work though. Miracle I say. Hopefully no reprucutions. Does anyone have similar effects??? Advise !!! Eat periodicaly. Nutrients are the key, use this to program healthy eating. Be careful. Eat small portions forcefully.if u don't, u feel week, dizzy, out of wack, and your blood pressure drops which is not healthy. Take advantage to retrain yourself to eat the right way. Works wonders for me after trying diet pills that make me have crazy anxiety and hunger still there. Use it for the good. Either way sleep is fucken crazy all over the place. Please let me know if someone feels same. Or it's my own Insanity, lol !!! F 37 2 days

 3  Weight loss After 8 hours from taking first dose, stomach felt nauseous for remainder of the day. Also instant fatigue noticed after injection. I am very active and it was hard for me to do the elliptical ( usually do 20/20 for 1.5 hours, only able to do 45 minutes). I will give it another few days and see if I can tolerate it. F 42 1 days

 2  Lower Blood Sugar Levels Hasn't helped a tremendous amount, and has kept me nauseas for the entire time so far. Not sure I will continue. I eat an extremely low carb diet, so I expected more help for the trade out of feeling sick all the time. I agree with other user, seems like you are poisoning yourself. M 48 17 days
