"i started on victoza in march 2013 and lost 30 pounds by feb 2014 despite being on some psychiatric medications that can cause significant weight gain.  i was diagnosed with dm2 in 2013 and was prescribed victoza by my endo primarily to help with weight loss.   initially i took the injection at night starting with .6 and gradually increasing to 1.8 to minimize nausea.  i was extremely nauseated and was given ondasetron by my endo for the first few weeks which really helped.  my other doctors were a little shocked that i was given this strong, expensive anti-nausea medicine, however i persisted as encouraged by the diabetes nurse.  i recently increased dose to 3.0 and hope i can lose more weight..    i encourage you to hang in - it&#039;s worth it."
