I had horrible side effects on saxenda, after 2 doses I stopped, i am someone who has had a lifetime of gastro problems but I honestly thought I was dying I was so ill. I foolishly started not long after getting over norovirus so I don’t think that helped.
I restarted after getting advice from others. I reduced my dose to get my body use to the drug. I then gradually increased my dosage. I also kept a diary and found out certain things would trigger my V&D. I could reduce my dose when having bad side effects and eventually cut out my triggers making increasing my dose much easier. I found saxenda much easier to control as it was daily so I wasn’t wasting much at the start.
When I moved onto Wegavoy I found the side effects less but didn’t loose as much weight straight away, it took a bit of perseverance to start loosing. I gave it up recently as I’ve been having other health issues which I and the GP wernt sure were related to the injections. i also couldn’t cope with the constipation, it got so unbearable.
i did consider doing something not advised. At the peak of my weight loss I was taking saxenda and Orlistat at the same time, the latter helping with the constipation. I decided against doing that with the Wegavoy just because I was having other issues on top.
Im not sure what your taking but if you can reduce the dose until you get use to it I would and persevere. I’d rather waste a little than all of it and also waste some to get my body use to it.
everyone is different but my trigger foods on saxenda where anything high fibre or hard to digest, onions, broccoli, cabbage, high fat foods, fatty meats, cheeses etc.. I was able to still eat “junk food” McDonald’s pizza but in very small doses which was important to me as potion sizes are a big problem for me.
Wegavoy I didn’t really have much in the way of trigger foods except white wine, after 1 glass I’d be throwing up.
good luck.
