"i started saxenda in april 2016.  i immediately noticed that i had no craving for food.  i felt full quicker and ate less.  total weight loss 36 pounds.  i was paying out of pocket and stopped after 5 months.  while taking it i felt great, with relief from other physical issues i had. within 2 weeks of stopping saxenda my appetite was returning and the food cravings were back.   i am aware of the fact that i have to manage my diet.  this is a great drug, but unless it can be taken on a regular basis, it&#039;s temporary.  since stopping i am up 4 pounds."
