obesity
"I started on Victoza in March 2013 and lost 30 pounds by Feb 2014 despite being on some psychiatric medications that can cause significant weight gain.  I was diagnosed with DM2 in 2013 and was prescribed Victoza by my endo primarily to help with weight loss.   Initially I took the injection at night starting with .6 and gradually increasing to 1.8 to minimize nausea.  I was extremely nauseated and was given Ondasetron by my endo for the first few weeks which REALLY helped.  My other doctors were a little shocked that I was given this strong, expensive anti-nausea medicine, however I persisted as encouraged by the diabetes nurse.  I recently increased dose to 3.0 and hope I can lose more weight..    I encourage you to HANG IN - it's worth it."
