Started about 3 weeks ago, on a daily injection now of 1.2mg.
Just a ordered if anyone else was taking it and how it's making you feel?

I've been on it for about 5 years, I think, though I've gone through phases of forgetting or not bothering, so I've basically started and stopped it a lot.

Usually I get indigestion and headaches when I first start it at .6, and occasional nausea. That all eases, then I increase it to 1.2 and it all starts again. It doesn't last for too long though, once I'm established at that dose I feel perfectly normal, just with much less appetite than usual. I can eat much less and feel okay, and I find it easy to lose weight. It used to help a lot with my blood sugar but it's been higher lately.

How are you doing on it?

I've had some nausea, but I'm struggling with constipation
DH said he can see in my face that I'm losing weight. For me, I'm just not as hungry, no more share bags of crisps to myself in the evening which is great!

How are getting on, @muddlinthroughit ?
My GP has issued a prescription for this today and this was the only thread I could find on it.
