Saxenda - what time do you take yours?

[Rinatinabina]

Just wondering what time those using saxenda take their dose? Does it make a difference to you what time you take it nausea/appetite suppression effect?

Working shifts I'm all over the place with mine!

Still working ok but I struggle with sleep patterns so generally aim for midday-2pm

Currently taking it in the evening before I go to bed about 10/11pm. However I'm just about to go up a dose so it'll be interesting to see how that affects it as I haven't had many symptoms as of yet.

Do you what time you take it makes a difference to when you are least hungry? I’m definitely an afternoon/evening eater and haven’t started yet so was considering what the best time to give it a go was

I’m a 6.30/7pm person. Before I eat a small evening meal. Been taking it since last week of April and still managing on the lowest dose to keep appetite low. 6lb loss so far and happy to carry on at this rate to keep the pen lasting longer. No side effects since a headache on day 1

Congratulations on all the progress 😊. Will start at night I think and see how I go.

After doing some reading started today in the morning at 8ish with 3 clicks and will just add a click a day till I get to 0.6. Hopefully will minimise side effects.

I take mine mid afternoon. I was constantly dizzy and nauseous after going up to 2.4, went back to 1.2 and my appetite went up. So I’ve settled at 1.8, and rarely hungry but not sick and dizzy.

Yup I’ve switched to the evenings, it’s not as effective for me I felt some appetite suppression at 3 clicks in the morning but tbh the tiredness was really getting me and I have a little one so really can’t manage with that. Hoping to switch back to mornings once the side effects subside. On the other hand getting solid sleep!

Still tirating up very slowly, on 6 clicks, weigh in is on thursday for me so will post a quick update for anyone who wants to know how it went.

Ok just popping this here for anyone looking for experience of starting Saxenda the way I did. Started on 3 clicks taken in the evening got to 0.6 over a week. I was still hungry but it definitely curbed snacking and I felt a bit fuller faster.

1st week down 2.4lbs started at 12st 11.6. Pretty happy with that given it was a gentle introduction.
