"i have been on sexanda now for a little over 3 weeks.  24 days to be exact.  i have lost 7 pounds to date.  the first week was awful for me.  i experienced terrible headaches, nausea, heartburn and insomnia.  i was hesitant to continue the drug as i felt terrible.  i spoke to my doctor who advised me not to up my dose the second week so i continued taking saxenda at 0.6 for 2 weeks.  miraculously, my side effects lessened up by the 10th day and i was happy i didn&#039;t stop.  i just increased my dose to the 1.2 and feel some nausea and a slight headache once again but no where near as bad as previously. my doctor said everyone&#039;s tolerance level is different and as long as i am losing i could go back down to .06. no need to increase if losing."
