"on saxenda to help control hunger related to pcos.  the needle is very small - not even as bad as plucking a hair.  day 1: just a little tingling in my leg after dosage.  day 2: miserable.  immediately my hearing went muffled (like when you hear a loud noise) and i lost my balance and felt very nauseous for about 30 seconds.  a cold glass of water and laying down for 20 minutes was needed. left me weak and nauseous for 6 hours. to my surprise those side effects only happened once.  all dosages since, including increasing dosage have been easy with little to no side effects.  positive effect was 3 lbs lost in first week, and very little desire for food: ie- now eating a single egg with toast or a small soup and feeling content for 3-4 hours."
