Hi I have been taking Byetta (5mg) for nearly 30 days now. Have found Iam getting a lot of "hypos" but after discontinuing Diamicron have these under control. My question is.. can Byetta cause depression? I seem to be constantly depressed and can't  shake the feeling of gloom. Thanks for any help you can give me. Also have not lost any weight. cheers Mandy

HelloByetta or Exenatide is a new drug for diabetes mellitus. It has been marketed few years back for DM type 2. Although there are no major studies that prove that the drug cause depression but a lot of case reports prove that the drug is known to cause depression even at 5 mg doses. The drug is known to cause loss of weight, and wait for some time with drug and you will see improvement.Hope this helps you, thanks
