obesity
"I've been on Saxenda since January 11th and have lost 9lbs.

I have a complex medical history, but being lighter and able to do more with my body is the goal. Weight wise my goal for the first 6 months is to lose 56lbs. 

My side effects thus far have been TERRIBLE. Extreme nausea, acid reflux, severe fatigue - even some moderate to severe dizziness. I'm not enjoying it much HOWEVER - it seems to improve 10 - 12 days after each dose increase.

Dosing: because of my side effects I've needed to slow my dose progression. Every 2 weeks I increase by 0.6 mg.

Insurance: In Canada the Public Service health care plan covers this medication  *in some cases*. There needs to be a medical need aside from obesity. 

Good luck everyone."
