Patients shared their opinions in the attached thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/75662/saxenda-dlaczego-lek-saxenda-nie-dziala

I'm after the first pen. A few days of heartburn, sometimes my head hurts, but not enough to tell if it's from the drug or not.
As for the weight, I don't weigh myself, but I feel like I'm going down. The ankle ouchs. I don't have such a craving for sweets, actually sweet doesn't exist for me. The hunger pangs disappeared. After coming home from work, I attacked the fridge. I can confidently say that the drug is tailored to me. Oh, I noticed a problem with libido - I don't feel desire so intensely. The propeller fires 😀 up, although I'm full in this matter and I don't want flour either. I hope that the body will adapt and change.

I have been taking Saxenda for 2 weeks, the result is minus 6 kg, while the weight has become ..... Let's look further, the side effects were in the first week, nausea, belching, constipation ....I didn't want to eat at all, in the second week the appetite returned

I've been taking Saxsende for a week and at the moment -2kg on the scale, no side effects, appetite a bit less, but so far I'm happy (I'm taking it through IO)

I've been using sexendna for 6 weeks with a 3mg dose. No side effects, appetite as it was, weight the same.

I take Saxenda for the second week, the first week is 0.6!weight -1 kg nausea, I don't want to eat almost at all, if I want to, then a small amount of food is enough!now it's the second week, the dose is 1.2, dizziness appeared, nausea remained, but more in the afternoon, weakness and trembling legs!how to do sports I don't know, I couldn't go to yoga even today, since I barely got out of the store, the feeling was that I was losing consciousness!I can't say yet about the result of only 9 days of taking it, yoga 3 times a week, walking morning lymph drainage exercises I do!edema went down minimally, although since I eat little and rarely thought that at least the water would leave me)))diagnosis insulin resistance, weight gain was 14 kg in a few months! But I could no longer fight the swelling and the weight that was growing in front of my eyes!

I started taking Saxenda twice and both times dizziness, migraine and drowsiness recurred. The weight did not go away, the appetite did not decrease.

3 months and 22 kilos less after saxend. I recommend Naprad. The results are good. I'm running for more kilograms.

Saxenda slims everyone down to varying degrees... I also took it, after finishing after 3 months I started to gain weight again, I have insulin resistance ... I don't believe in any wonders ... you have to watch what you eat and how much .. good move .
Anyway, I'm over 50 and menopause has done its job ... at a young age you ate without restrictions and I had up to 57 kg ... I wish everyone perseverance and control your pancreas and liver... Because I have a problem with my liver right now. Agnieszka nurse..

Hello. I have been taking Saxenda for a week now. The first two days I vomited, I could not eat anything. After that, only nausea throughout the day and in addition twists the stomach, the dose is 0.6

@klaudia Ćwiakata but at the beginning I started to pred and there it has been 4 days nothing more standing I have lost about 8 kilos and for 4 days nothing you think I should stop or continue?

To @Saxandanumeo1 :

I encourage you to read the statement here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/87450/saxenda-czy-tylko-na-mnie-nie-dziala-saxenda

For @klaudia Ćwiakata
Thank you for your answer so I increase the dose every week But I'm losing more points, it's already been 4 days that I've been at 83 kilos and its drop isn't it normal?

To @Saxandanumeo1:

For Saxenda, the maintenance dose is 3 mg. For various reasons, your doctor may recommend a different, individual dosage. It is worth remembering that although you can see the effect now, it does not mean that it will last, especially if the drug is not used as recommended. (dose escalation).

@kudiya Ćwiakata thank you I'm happy I lost 8 kilos in 11 days I wanted to know if we can stay on a dose for several months for example I'm at 0.6? Or if we can reduce the dose for example 1.2 and I want to go to 0.6?

To @Saxandanumeo1:

Side effects only occur in some patients.

Hello it's been 4 days that I've been using saxanda and I've lost 3 kilos in 4 days wow chuis very happy but I just wanted to ask if it's normal that I don't have vomiting at all or other... And I only fall 0.6

I have been taking Saxende for 6 days. I was most afraid of whether I would be able to give myself an injection - after the first time I do it without hesitation, I don't feel the needle at all. The first three days I was terribly nauseous, but I noticed that it was when I ate "as always". When I reduced the portion of breakfast, the nausea immediately disappeared. I have the impression that thanks to the drug, my body sends me clearer signals, and I learn to listen to them. I'm going to stay on the minimum dose of the drug, I want the pens to last me for a long time (financial issues). On the day of the first injection, I weighed 106 kg. After 6 days, the weight dropped to 103.05 kg.

I've been taking Saxenda since June 14, 2024 - 7.9kg less I'm happy . Dosage: first two weeks, dose 0.6, third and fourth week, dose 1.2, currently I'm on dose 1, 8 and on this one I'll stay definitively. I am very happy with the result.

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.
