"started victoza with samples from my diabetic team. started on .06 and worked my way to 1.8 within a few weeks of dosing. no weight loss! it has helped a lot with my blood sugar dropping from fasting 180 to around 120-130. i have bumped from 1500 mg of metformin to 1000mg. but, no weight loss. i asked my nurse if i could bump up doses to 3.0 since saxenda has a dose of 3.0 and its the same med. she agreed so i did a 1.8 and a 1.2 shot each morning. side note- i work overnights. i take my meds in the am (also on lexapro that made me tired. i am off of lexapro now so med schedule will change.) i am fortunate enough to get saxenda at a $0 copay but it has not helped me at all. i may need to tweak my hours of injection to get the full benefits it."
