    Very happy with Victoza. Makes you feel much better, seems I have more energy. Blood sugar was 646, took victoza several days and watched what I ate and it was down to 145. Not happy with the price, did pay full price 3 times. Now new insurance covers it. Price $35.

    The first time I went from .06 to 1.2 I felt sick to my stomach. My doctor had be wait a little longer to change. Worked well and I've lost 30 pounds, very happy about that.

    This medicine made me very sick at 0.6 starting dose. I started at 0.3 and moved up a little each week. I have now been on 1.2 dose for 4 weeks. Take the shot at 6:00 pm. I am usually too sick with nausea to do anything the rest of the evening. I have not lost any weight, nor seen any results of blood sugar owering. It about the same. Medcine is SUPER EXPENSIVE. It covered by my insurance, but ... Show Full Comment

    Began 10 days ago with the lowest dose and side effects are dizziness and headache. Bumped it up to 1.2 now I have diarrhea and couldn't even go to work today. How long does this side effect last and can I take Imodium to control the diarrhea?

    I was taking this but the side effects were horrible. The heartburn, nausea, great scott. I will say however that it did bring my blood sugar down very fast and kept it at 100. Needle was very small. This drug was not for me because of the side effects however if your Dr. has prescribed it to you then dont hesitate to try it. Like I said it does work and it works well.
