Weight Loss
"I started Saxenda on 6/1/17. I titrated the dose as prescribed. The first day I was overcome by chills and severe nausea. I had to sit down on a walk with my husband. I had a salad and pizza, ate my normal portion, but felt very ill afterwards I continued the 0.6 mg for a week and lost 5lbs. If I hadn&#039;t seen a significant weight loss, I doubt I would have continued this medication. I increased my medication and switched injecting in the morning to the evening, which helped me sleep through the side effects of nausea, sweats, shaking. It also helped me reduce my 3 cups of coffee to one and a much smaller breakfast than usual. End of week two, 12 lbs down. I&#039;m on week 3, I&#039;ve lost a total of 21 lbs and counting. I do go to the gym 3 days per week"
