Saxenda

[Ijustneedaminute]

Hi everyone, I have just started on Saxenda (day 4) and so far so good, had a headache on day two but have been drinking loads of water so that has helped. I just wondered if anyone has taken this and successfully kept their weight loss off? Everything I read is everyone saying they lost weight but when they stopped taking it, the weight came back on. Please tell me some stories of hope! 🤣

Hi, I've just picked mine up and taking my first dose tonight! Would you like to be saxenda buddies?

Hi, sorry for slow reply. How are you getting on?

Hi,
I'm on day 12 and am currently -4.5lbs.

I had a bit of a tricky start as had horrible symptoms at the beginning so reduced my dose from 0.6 to 0.3 and have been very gradually increasing.

Last night I did 0.6mg plus one click which is the highest I've had so far. It seems to be going well!

How are you getting on?

Ah that’s rough that you had horrible symptoms! I’m getting on ok, not sure how much weight I have lost as I don’t weigh myself but I’m fitting in to my jeans which are usually way too small so that’s good! I’ve had a couple of days off over the weekend as I went out for some drinks and wanted to eat a bit more the next day as well. I’m still on 0.6 as that seems to be working for me, I just hope I can keep the weight off once I stop the pens 🙏🏼

Hi , I'm just about the start saxenda this evening, I'm a bit nervous what to expect with the side effects. I would like to join in the thread to get some tips and share the journey.

I'm at the end of week one. No adverse symptoms but also no apparent effect on my appetite at all. So far I feel exactly as normal so I've accelerated the step up in dosage based on this only being required to acclimatise to adverse symptoms. I'm now on day 7 and up to 1.8. Is this unusual or has anyone else had this? Am I risking my life or just my bank balance?

I picked mine up today so I'm starting tomorrow, have about 4 stone to lose. I'm really nervous!

What time of the day is best for injecting the saxenda? Or does it matter ?

Hi. Can this be given prescribed from.doctor?

I do mine at bed time.

Just started on saxenda too. First day and decided to inject in the morning.

I have lost 1.5kg in my first week.
I kept injecting in the evening time around 6pm. I'm due to go up to 1.2 dose this evening. I am expecting some nausea though with the increase dose and have anti nausea tablets on standby. My urges for having a glasses wine some evenings and then snacking has also gone which is an added bonus!
Saxenda definitely does something my brain wiring for sure! I also read it boosts the metabolism also along with suppression of the appetite.

How's everyone else doing?

Where has it available atm?

Everywhere seems to be sold out at the moment. My wife and I have had totally opposite experiences on saxenda. I've had no side effects and hardly any effects at all and moved up to 3mg quickly. I'm not convinced it's really affecting my appetite much at all. Conversely my wife has felt ill from the start and actually been sick a couple of times even on .6mg to the extent that she's had to stop. Is this typical or unusual?

Boots are back in stock but not taking on any new people 😞so maybe others are too hopefully

I had a couple of days feeling/being sick when I injected in the am then ate close after. Switched it to nighttime and all good from there

Having trouble getting some this shortage is real bad anybody know of chemists with any in stock thanks

I tried Saxenda, lost about 2 stone but when I stopped taking it the weight piled back on.

Question re periodic vomiting.
I've been taking Saxenda for 12 weeks. It's working. Im still on the lowest dose (0.6) and have lost around 4kg. However, 3 times now I've had really uncomfortable days, which ultimately resulted in vomiting and extreme fatigue. It started after about 7 weeks, and episodes have been a week - 10 days apart. In between I'm fine. It doesn't seem to be linked to specific foods I've eaten the day before. Advice, anyone?
