"saxenda works, substantially more than i ever would have expected. i have lost 20 pounds on this medication in 3 months. i am on the 2.4 dose and that is where i have stayed, and getting these results. side effects are minimal and worth it given the fact that i have dropped to a size 6 :) you feel full faster and are less hungry. also, i am not as up and down with my energy. i feel more balanced. i am not diabetic but this must have something to do with my insulin levels. i have been working out for 3 years and have seen varying results, then hit a plateau. now i am finally dropping the weight and getting in shape."
