What are the reviews about the drug Saxenda?

Zosia. A woman in menopause.
Start: Lift 160, weight 79.3. The 50s. Over the last 10 years, I have gained about 18 kg. I tested a lot of diets, I lost weight 3 years ago with a dietician about 5 kg, but I made up for it later. I'm from a fat family. I have a very stressful job and my problem is eating in the evenings (I relieve stress). Other than that, I eat well, 2x a week gym. I'm after the first month of Saxenda treatment. Effects and impressions: 1/ The first two or three weeks, i.e. the dose of 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 - did not impress me at all. Isolated situations of slight nausea and belching, appetite almost unchanged. 2/ From the dose of 2.4 - I felt less appetite, but at the same time I have constipation ecodispositions - harmless so far. All in all, however, no other unpleasant side effects. 3/ From a dose of 3.0 - I take Saxenda in the morning - before I took it after returning from work (around 6 p.m.) - and now I feel a shy difference: the desire to eat is smaller, it doesn't suck my stomach anymore, and in the evening I manage to eat smaller portions. Effect after 1 month : from a weight of 79.3 => 77.8 = 1.5 kg less. This is a reasonable pace for me, although I must admit that I would like more... 4/ I will disappoint those who think that this medicine is a magic wand. I write down everything I eat all the time and control the amount of calories (I stick to 1800), besides 2-3 physical activity a week for 1 hour. Minimum sweets, a lot of water. I think that in my case - without food control the goal would be miserable or zero. But in my case, the drug helps me not to overeat in the evenings. 5/ Studies say that the effects from a dose of 3 mg - I've only been on it for a few days - I hope that after another month the result will be similar or better. I'll let you know. Zosia.

For a month minus 4, constant nausea, I eat almost nothing.

21 kg in 3 months, I lost 103 kg to 82 kg, with a height of 184 cm, a revelation for me.

Saxenda causes a huge decrease in libido, disturbances of desire. Read on English-language portals. And that's what happened to me. Plus sensitization at the injection site on the second attempt at treatment.

Hey, I started taking the drug with BMI>32 and hypertension. The beginnings were very promising - 1.5 kg per week lower weight, feeling satiety, little nausea. Unfortunately, over time, an allergy to the drug appeared, manifested by severe itching of the whole body, rash. I had to stop taking the drug. I take antiallergic medication for a few days, prescription, but the symptoms do not want to go away quickly. I hope that in a few days everything will pass and the drug will rinse out of the body.

I have been using Saxenda since May 18, which is 48 days. During this time I lost 7 kg. The first week I took a dose of 0.6, now 1.2, for now I do not increase because I feel that it still works, only during menstruation I felt more hungry. For the first 2 days my head hurt a little, then up to 2 weeks I had a feeling of nausea, especially when the body recognized that I was full. Then there was heartburn, especially after gluten and dairy, which I almost completely stopped at the moment. Now I don't feel any side effects. At first, the weight fell faster, recently it is about 1 kg per week. I use a broken fast 8/16 (11.00-19.00 I eat, I give myself Saxenda around 1 pm) for this exercise practically every day 10 min hula-hoop, 20 min on the bench arms and legs, squats and crunches 3 series of 15, in the future I plan to increase the number of series, in addition, I overcome about 7000 steps a day. As for the diet, once every few days I eat some sweetness, dinners I eat normal potatoes, a piece of meat and salad, fruit and muesli for breakfast. Every day I eat 2 larger (breakfast and dinner) and one small meal (sometimes only the two larger). So far I am satisfied with the results, I practically do not go hungry, despite 16 hours without food during the day. The only thing I can complain about at the moment are rashes appearing in some places of the body, but I have always had allergic problems related to food and appearing hives, so I turn a blind eye to it.

I take from 11 days - 6 kg less. Symptoms: all the time full. As once for breakfast I had to eat 3 slices of bread (square), now I have enough of one. As for dinner with 4 potatoes, meat, salad, now only half a bowl of light salad is enough. I do not want sweets, and I could eat 3 princepolo XXL right away.

If the body reacts properly, then the loss of 1-2 kg per week is bricked. I have been feeling a decrease in appetite since 1 day. Zero desire for sweets, bad tolerance of fatty foods or dairy products, because you will immediately vomit. So I based my diet on vegetables and lean meat and I don't feel hungry. Already during the meal I feel full, so I reduced the meals by half. After 3 days, the negative feelings subsided, but I do injections not earlier than around 2 pm.
