"i started saxenda 0.6 on 8/23/17.  it is now 8/28/17 and i&#039;m down almost 5 lbs.  i have increased to 1.2 because the side effects were going away.  i have noticed i am only eating about half as much as i used to eat.  i never feel hungry.  i did feel hypoglycemic one day, but ate something and felt better.  the side effects were not too bad, bloating, a little nausea.  i am optimistic about this drug.  all the others i have tried gave me terrible side effects."
