"i have been taking saxenda since july 2016.  i had severe nausea for about a month once i got up to the 2.6 dosage.  it has since subsided and the only side effect i notice now is the dry mouth.  i make sure to drink  2.5 litres of water a day (about 10 glasses).  this helps with the weight loss as well as the constipation.  i have been reducing my dose to find a comfortable spot where i am still losing weight but don&#039;t feel like i am over medicating.  for me, 1.8 is working very well.  i also feel wearing a fitbit has really helped.  i can track my food, water, exercise and steps - it keeps me moving more.  when this started i could barely walk the length of myself without getting winded - i have lost 58 lbs so far."
