"i&#039;ve been on saxenda since january 11th and have lost 9lbs.

i have a complex medical history, but being lighter and able to do more with my body is the goal. weight wise my goal for the first 6 months is to lose 56lbs. 

my side effects thus far have been terrible. extreme nausea, acid reflux, severe fatigue - even some moderate to severe dizziness. i&#039;m not enjoying it much however - it seems to improve 10 - 12 days after each dose increase.

dosing: because of my side effects i&#039;ve needed to slow my dose progression. every 2 weeks i increase by 0.6 mg.

insurance: in canada the public service health care plan covers this medication  *in some cases*. there needs to be a medical need aside from obesity. 

good luck everyone."
