"several years ago, my doctor prescribed victoza for blood sugar issues.  i lost a lot of weight, effortlessly; i just wasn&#039;t hungry.  then i regained the weight (probably double what i lost), and victoza never worked for weight loss for me again.  my blood sugar issues weren&#039;t that bad, so the doctor took me off it.  i had hoped saxenda would be the help i needed since it&#039;s the same med at a higher dose-- something that would just make me easily satiated.  i&#039;ve been on it for five months, and i have only lost a few pounds.  i&#039;m at the highest dose.  very disappointed.   the primary side effect i have is heartburn, which comes way after i&#039;ve eaten and therefore doesn&#039;t help curb my appetite."
