Obesity
"Started Victoza with samples from my diabetic team. Started on .06 and worked my way to 1.8 within a few weeks of dosing. No weight loss! It has helped a lot with my blood sugar dropping from fasting 180 to around 120-130. I have bumped from 1500 mg of Metformin to 1000mg. But, no weight loss. I asked my nurse if I could bump up doses to 3.0 since Saxenda has a dose of 3.0 and its the same med. She agreed so I did a 1.8 and a 1.2 shot each morning. Side note- I work overnights. I take my meds in the AM (also on Lexapro that made me tired. I am off of Lexapro now so med schedule will change.) I am fortunate enough to get Saxenda at a $0 copay but it has not helped me at all. I may need to tweak my hours of injection to get the full benefits it."
