"i started taking saxcenda 4/1/16. it has only been about 3 days and my starting weight is 240. so far at 0.6 mg, i have no side effects at all. the big difference is noticing that i have no appetite for food at all and no cravings for anything! forget about 3 meals a day, i am thinking about maybe only doing one or very little at each meal. i can understand why my appetite is suppressed because the drug is supposed to play games with your brain, well i guess it is working just fine. i have to start incorporating the treadmill in with this injection along with the low calorie diet. i hope i still feel this good when i start bumping up the doses in the coming weeks, we shall see. my insurance covers this drug with a 10 copay and 10for needles"
