So my doctor prescribed 3mg per day right from the start. I did that for four days and felt horrible. Heart racing, palpitations, nausea, headache. Then I read the prescribing info. Supposed to start at 0.6. So today was day 5. I went down to 1.8 - still with the palpitations and headache, Anyone else have these symptoms? Going to the lowest dose tomorrow. Starting over.

I have been using Saxenda for 3 weeks and have lost 11lb. Really pleased with the results. I go away on a holiday in a few weeks time and I am thinking I need to stop using the pen as I would like to be able to drink some alcohol - not excessive but some and I know you shouldnâ??t drink alcohol on it. Does anyone have experience of shopping for a while and restarting. When stopping use of the ... Show Full Comment

I am diabetic, on pen#8, wk 12, have lost a total of 45lbs, need 40 more to go, so i am quite happy with saxenda. the first 3-4 pens i felt a bit nauseated, some days could just not eat, but in the past 3 wks, i have not been losing much wt, only 5lbs, so weightloss slows down, the side effects diminish, some days just a bit tired or just not wanting to eat. I do try to take advantage of this and fast for one day a week. I am able to eat more tho, even get slightly hungry, but still able to control how much i eat. Which is basically once or twice a day and not more than a handful of food each time. You must limit how much you eat if you want to lose wt!! Im at 2.4 dose and have not yet taken the 3.0. i actually stayed at the dosage until i felt good enough to up the dose. which is not how the instructions say but as you know, it can make you feel pretty sick. I am hoping to start loosing wt again, more at a consistent rate. Will probably start some wt training to see if it helps lose more wt. Maybe my body lost too much too quick and needs to catch up?? who knows? If this happened to you, what did you do to restart losing wt?? Would be nice to hear from more people who have been on it for over 3 months.
