"i started a two week trial of victoza prescribed by my dr on 3/8/17. i was nervous about giving myself injections as well as the side effects. i started at 0.6 but after no side effects i increased my dose on my own to 1.2. i lost 8 lbs after 9 days but it kept fluctuating 1-2 lbs. i grew skeptical and started to believe this was too good to be true. after a 30lb weight gain in the last 7 months from stress eating, my appetite was finally under control so i continued with the injections. my insurance appvd the drug and last week my dose was increased to 1.8. today is april 3, and without diet or exercise, i am down 12.5 lbs (in about 3 1/2 weeks). i&#039;m excited and can&#039;t wait to reach my goal weight of 165 lbs. good luck!"
