"i just started saxenda and have only taken 4 of the .06 doses. i have already lost 5 pounds. i am about 5&#039;3&quot; and started right at 200lbs. now 195lbs. seems promising, so far. not really any side effects. i&#039;ve had a little bit of stomach pain, but it was brief. no nausea or vomiting. my doc did say that the weight usually melts off of people, so we will see!
i took phentermine a few times. the first time i lost 15 lbs in a month, but it made my heart rate faster and it gave me very bad anxiety. i&#039;m glad there&#039;s another option that doesn&#039;t have the bad side effects. 

i do know that the cost is astronomical for saxenda, so my doc is giving me samples for now. my private insurance doesn&#039;t cover it at all."
