"i started saxenda on 6/1/17. i titrated the dose as prescribed. the first day i was overcome by chills and severe nausea. i had to sit down on a walk with my husband. i had a salad and pizza, ate my normal portion, but felt very ill afterwards i continued the 0.6 mg for a week and lost 5lbs. if i hadn&#039;t seen a significant weight loss, i doubt i would have continued this medication. i increased my medication and switched injecting in the morning to the evening, which helped me sleep through the side effects of nausea, sweats, shaking. it also helped me reduce my 3 cups of coffee to one and a much smaller breakfast than usual. end of week two, 12 lbs down. i&#039;m on week 3, i&#039;ve lost a total of 21 lbs and counting. i do go to the gym 3 days per week"
