"i started saxenda in february 2016 and in 4 weeks lost 7 pounds.  i had quite a bit of nausea so i ate very little which may account for some of the weight loss but after 6 weeks or so the nausea subsided.  i continued to lose weight until month 5 which is when i plateaued after having lost 27 pounds.  it&#039;s now september and i haven&#039;t lost any more weight even though i&#039;ve added exercise (4-5 times per weeks) but i continue to use saxenda and i am hoping to breakthrough the plateau soon.  my physician did say that the drug is only effective for weight loss for 6 - 8 months; after that it only helps to maintain your weight."
