"i had a real rough patch of depression and over the last two years i went up from 180lbs to 275 lbs and seemed everything i tried failed.  at 5&#039;10&#039; i was diagnosed as obese, developed high blood pressure, pre-diabetic &amp; cholesterol was high. i couldn&#039;t exercise because i was so winded all the time.     started on saxenda november 9.  the goal is to introduce more physical activity as i start to drop the weight that&#039;s contributing to my being winded. 

i&#039;m now up to the 1.8 dose and in the first 18 days i am down 10 lbs.    better food choices help too. 

side effects: slight nausea, fatigue/sleepiness and morning headaches. 

insurance co considering entitlement because of the other comorbid factors. otherwise it&#039;s damn expensive."
