Is there anyone who has not taken Saxenda for a long time and what are the effects?

Hello, I've been on saxenda for a month and 6 kilos down. I have practically no side effects. I stopped at the donor 1.8 because he does not have a big appetite. I eat healthy but not much. The drug really works. I don't think about food all the time. It completely equally rejected me from alcohol . I recommend this drug at the moment.

I've been taking Saxenda for over a year and have lost a lot of weight with it. However, I suddenly gain weight again slightly, although I continue to take Saxenda. I've been taking 3.0 for a week since I have my feel-good weight 2.4

I am really lucky with this drug. I was on a dose of 0.6 all the time and every third week I took a week off so that my tolerance did not increase and I did not need to increase. I continued this treatment for less than 4 months. Exactly as I wrote above. I lost 12 kg to my dream weight and gave it up. Later, every 2-3 months or so, I had a yo-yo of 2 kilos and then once every 2-3 months I did the treatment with a minimum dose for two weeks and that's it. Currently, I did my last injection over a year ago in March and I don't have a 1 kg yo-yo. Saxenda, one strxykawka that hasn't started, it's lying in the fridge and waiting for a rainy day and will expire soon because I still don't have a yo-yo.

Has anyone had terrible abdominal and stomach pains, belching and terrible diarrhea with a dose of 3 ml? Before, everything was ok, no side effects, but after taking 2 doses of 3 ml I was dying for 2 days from pain, 2 days and nights on the toilet with huge diarrhea. I lost 10 kg in 3 months, I need to lose weight with 5 kg but I'm afraid to take this 3 ml dose again. I stopped taking this drug for now. Has anyone been in this situation and returned to the 2.4 dose?

I do not know. I'm taking the 4th week. I lost 3 kilos so stiffly. I don't want to eat, but I'm also so weak that I often feel like I'm about to faint. Dizziness, some strange feeling of weakness. I do not know. I am hydrated. I drink a lot, I take B vitamins... I do not know

Hello, I got a prescription for saxende and I am going to start using it from Monday. I'm going to have a few family events and I'm wondering if I should avoid alcohol altogether with this drug... If anyone knows anything about this, please advise me

Hey. I have been taking Saxenda for two weeks, starting with a dose of 0.6. At the moment I'm on 1.2 and from tomorrow I'm switching to 1.8. So far I have lost 2 kg and I feel really good. With a dose of 1.2 I was a bit nauseous, but a few days and it passed. In fact, the drug inhibits the desire to snack. Sometimes I forget about the meal because I'm just not hungry.

A small note about the use of Saxenda doses. Take doses that are effective and until you feel you need to increase. For a very long time, the minimum dose of 0.6 was sufficient. For three months. If you stop losing weight, stop taking the drug. In my opinion, the metabolism slows down and the only thing you can do is to stop taking the drug and start eating normally, controlling the number of calories. For two or three months. For about 3.5 years I lost 57 kg. But it was like this, that I lost weight on my own as much as I could, about 3 kg per month, yes, two or three months, and then I jumped on Saxende. Then, for example, minus 7 kg in a month. No yo-yo effect, but I changed my eating style completely. I said goodbye to alcohol, sweets, and carbohydrates very carefully.

I have a question whether administering the drug is painful, I have a terrible drug in front of this needle and I will have to do it myself. Are there any adhesions under the skin, bruises?

I have been taking since January 1, 2025. After all this Christmas and New Year's gluttony, I was a bit skeptical, but the first dose of 0.6 in the morning before breakfast and for me Coca-Cola, sweet and generally calorie absorption ceased to exist.

I really have to force myself to eat, which makes me very happy, I started with 114.8 kg with a height of 166 cm, today it is 108.5 kg, which is 6.3 kg in 27 days.

I've been taking a dose of 2.4 for a few days now and the side effects have started (they're not big but still), belching, bloating, in general something is constantly in my stomach, after waking up 1-2 when I burp I feel "stale egg". However, as I mentioned, these are not very intense inconveniences.

In 2 days I have a doctor's appointment, I need a prescription for the next pack and maybe I can agree to reduce the dose to 1.8. With this dose everything was OK, but I'm afraid that I'll start eating again without limits :(

I've been taking Saxende for about 6 months. Starting weight 112 kg, now 100 kg. I noticed that for about 3 weeks the weight has stopped. I don't know what to do next. I'm already taking a dose of 2.7 and I have a doctor's appointment in two months. Has anyone had a similar experience?. I know I can't stop but maybe I should increase the dose even more?

Hello, I actually took Saxenda, its been dizzying my weight loss. In June I weighed:+102 kg
And right now it's January 2025, I'm 86 kg!! The only downside is that it is very expensive and not reimbursed and the second downside is that next week I have my bile visicle removed, I have a lot of stones that make me suffer a lot and I am forced to go to the emergency room and at the time of writing I feel an attack approaching. So good luck

Hello! I've been taking Saxende for 12 days now, the first week a dose of 0.6, now 1.2. Starting weight 100.7. After 12 days, the weight dropped to 95.6 kg. At the beginning it would still be bad, I was bouncing with "eggs", but that is gone. The only problem is that it's hard to force food into myself so that I don't feel the feeling that I have to vomit because I overeat. Tomorrow I will talk to the doctor about the dose, because perhaps 0.6 is enough for now, since the effects are already very high. I greet you and wish you good luck!

After the first 5 weeks, 9 kilos less. A little less calories and an hour of walking a day. For now, he has dropped from 120 to 111 and he feels better. I will aim for 90 kilos, which is the maximum normal weight for my height.

Hello
For those who took saxenda over several months or even a year, what was the daily dose? Did your body get used to this dose and it ended up no longer working?

I don't take it for a year and all the kilograms came back. Unfortunately, it only works when you take it

Hello, I took saxende for over a year, I lost weight from 90 kg to 60 kg, after stopping the drug, it's been a year now, the side effects are such that at the moment I weigh 120
Kg I don't eat much, my body went crazy. I was done to do all the tests that are possible now I'm waiting for the results

I took saxenda for 1.5 years under medical supervision. My initial weight was 115 kg and now 83 kg. I didn't have any side effects. I haven't taken saxenda for 3 months now and I'm still doing very well and haven't gained any weight. I can participate in life again, get air again when running and the bones no longer hurt. Thanks to saxenda I have my life back and would take it again and again.

I took half a year, I went down quickly, from 78 to 62 kg at 167 height. I never got to dose 3 and I used dose 2.4 for a few days at most it was too relieving for me and rather unnecessary, so one package was easily enough for a month. I felt the side effects more at first it was nausea, and then constipation came, I supported myself with xenna and dulcobis. I put it aside (gradually) because my arms, legs and buttocks looked like those of a consumptive. Remember, it also takes away muscle mass, after weaning my skinny hands hurt :-) I think as if they were perpetrated. I don't eat carbohydrates, especially such as bread, pasta, rice, cakes, I didn't eat them anymore with reservations, I eat dairy products, meat, lean vegetables and some fruit like those allowed in the keto diet, so I hope that I won't lose those 16 kg too quickly. I feel slim and that I have achieved my goal. I will add that I did not exercise, I did not have time, there was always something else to do. I have hashimoto 18 years old, I already had cholesterol 280-260, my insuin resistance came out to be low because of 2.6 - my sister has Homa 8 and 180 kg, so without thinking about side effects, I took the therapy proposed by a dietician without thinking.

Hello, I took 7 months and the beginning was good, min 6kg in 2 months and suddenly the weight of the feet and the dose of 3 ml and zero satisfaction

Following my experience I am now at 50 days of injections I have gradually increased from 0.6 to 3ml I have just passed the 20 kg mark in less some adverse effects have occurred but bearable. In addition, I swim 2 or 3 times a week and I pay attention to eating a more balanced diet. This product really helps to eat less but you have to make an effort.

I put a little feedback on my personal experience because when I looked for it I found nothing interesting. After 27 days of daily injection, I am at -13kg (1.93m, 227kg at the beginning)I eat less and better, not really any side effects, simple to use and effective, I wonder why I was not offered it earlier, it is really worth trying, the diet is easier, I noticed when drinking sparkling water (I didn't like it before) I eat even less, for example a Mac smart c is wide. I would do another return next month.

I used it for a few months, I lost about 15 kg. After six months from discontinuation I returned about 3 kg, but this is because I started to return to the lifestyle before the diet. I've always had a problem with stress eating and being overweight. However, now I want to maintain these effects, there are "slip-ups" of gluttony, but less and less often and I try to control my head 😉 myself

I lost 10 kg on Saxenda in half a year, with the first week -3 kg, then 1 kg, then half a kg per week. I was on a dose of 0.6 for a long time, and when it stopped working, I increased it and it started moving again. Since weaning, I have gained 3kg in 3 weeks :( I threw myself on the food and ate, I think, 5x as much as on Saxenda. But on Saxenda I didn't eat much, about 1400kcal a day. Now I want to come back to lose weight, what I have made up for and I am planning a visit to a psychodietician, because without a change in lifestyle and thinking, the kilograms will always come back. I recommend the book "Emotional Eating".

Hello. Can you tell me if it's difficult to use the injections for the dose to be removed for the saxenda. Thank you all

Ok, so I'll describe my adventure. I've been taking Saxenda for quite a long time. A good year... I've lost quite a lot of pounds, about 15... technically without much diet. The drug generally works well, mainly reducing appetite. There may be side effects ( various I tend to occur). After discontinuing this drug, it is almost certain that the weight will start to come back rapidly. Appetite x2... The body will want to recoup the losses. To sum up, the drug is generally ok. However, it is too expensive to take a look. 3x 450 PLN pens are not enough for a full month. (on a full dose the pen is enough for 8 days max) i.e. 24 days for 450 PLN...

Hey. If I'm going to share information about Saxenda, my experiment has just begun, I'm after the second injection – the second day. I'm 42 years old, 97 kg at 180 height, muscular build, but unfortunately genetically I have quite a greasy inside of my body and I've always had difficulties with it to bring my body to a compact mass, stress and irregularity of meals with gluttony and gluttony are not good for you. And murder is known as sweets and fillers. I noticed that my metabolism was very dysregulated, because it was difficult for me to start losing weight despite using short fasts, and this does not help my ambitions to lose weight, so I quickly gave up. We'll see how it goes with Saxenda's injections. On the second injection, I feel a slight decrease in appetite, but also an increased desire to drink water. It's too early to talk about weight loss yet. Feeling good. Further effects will be reported at a later stage of the drug. I'm not a diabetic.
For those interested, I know a peer with insulin resistance. She had six months of prescription saxenda treatment therapy and had lost a lot of weight visually. The yo-yo effect worked, because unfortunately the self-control and habits of poor nutrition remained. In my opinion, after what I've noticed in my friend's opinion, I rate Saxenda positively. The yo-yo effect is a problem of habits or hormones, not a defect of the drug, because every diet should be guarded against the risk of weight gain - i.e. the yoyo effect. Cheers.

I have a question for you... Whether you have information or not, it is more beneficial to extend the phases of increasing the dosage of injections from a weekly portioning to a two-week dose increase mode instead of strictly adhering to the description of the leaflet. At the same time, this will allow you to save money, because the drug is not the cheapest, and at the same time it will prolong the effect of blocking appetite by the body with a prolonged therapy for a longer period of time? After all, you can't increase the dosage of the drug indefinitely. Please let me know how long one therapy can last?

It's the same for me.
It's a waste of money. The effect is miserable and after discontinuation the weight quickly returns to the previous result. Plus, getting tired of diarrhea and risking other side effects. It has little effect on appetite. I continued to eat despite taking this drug. It's better to spend this money on a diet or sports.

To @AweP:

Dose of Saxenda starts at 0.6 mg once a day. Your dose is increased as directed by your doctor, usually weekly.

I have a question about how to dose saxende. I used it 3 years ago and unfortunately I don't remember if the transition from smaller doses to larger doses is after a week or a month. The doctor asked me if I remembered the dosage and I confirmed that I did, but after some time it turned out that I had doubts about how long it would take to switch to a higher dose. Please help and reply.

Hello, the first week I was on saxenda, the dose was 0.6 mg, the second week, the dose was 1.2, I lost 2.5 kg, but I feel worse and worse, because I have nausea all the time, vomiting and stomach aches and diarrhea, my appetite has dropped after saxenda, I will not say, I have always had cravings for something good, now at all, I will give up because I am afraid that with long use of saxenda you can really ruin your health.

I took it, I lost weight, but I decided to reject it, but it took a toll on my health, after the stagnation, the pounds came back, maybe not everything, but 60 / and the last mourned I bought, 😡 defective, I wrote a complaint, so far echo, and the man pays not much at all!!

To @Kasia:

Needles need to be purchased. I wrote about what needles can be used with Saxenda here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/61163/novofine-jakie-igly-zastosowac-do-leku-saxenda

Hi girls,

I was given a dose of 6 mg by the doctor today and I have to start taking 0.6 later next month I have to increase to 1.8

Unfortunately the doctor didn't tell me if it takes once a week?
From what I see the package there are 3 needles so the package will last for 3 days? Please help

Today the doctor offered me just this supposedly miraculous drug, I read about it and your comments, I'm overweight, but for me the problem is that I have no appetite and I eat little, and the drug is to fight appetite, what do I do?

after 3 months break 3 kg came back in general, I lost 9 kg for 9 months, probably not enough I eat and fat is deposited, or diet 1500 and for this I have siofor 3 x1000

Jojo, no, but a month after the break, the weight slowly went up

I already use the 2nd day and do not feel hunger, slightly my head hurts and I want to drink more water, the weight for now slowly descends I'm on a dose of 0.6.

To @Aga Aga: There are currently no clear reports on the effect of Saxenda on the menstrual cycle. This topic has already been addressed in the attached threads: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/83412/saxenda-czy-lek-saxenda-powoduje-opoznienie-miesiaczki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/89140/saxenda-czy-saxenda-wplywa-na-obfitosc-miesiaczki

Witam.Mam question about Saxenda, what effect does it have on menstruation? I'm going to start treatment

5 weeks, 6 kg less. I go to the gym and swimming pool. I do not use the diet because I simply have no appetite. So I supplement myself, because I think that vitamins are never too much, especially magnesium and potassium. Overall, I feel good outside of morning reflux from time to time. I do the injection before bedtime.

I am from a month 10 kg less

from October to January and 4 kg in the plus, it does not work for me

I lost 7 kg for 7 weeks keeping a diet of 1000-1200 cal and exercising every day. She had no sucking for food or craving for sweets. After weaning, I have an appetite again and it is difficult for me to maintain 1200 kcal per day, but I try. I am a week after withdrawal, I have not lost anything but I have not gained weight. In the long run, I will probably gain weight, because I start thinking about desserts.
