I've been on Victoza for two months. My BG control is fine and I've experienced a decent amount of weight loss (around 25 pounds) due to feeling sated lots earlier and consequently eating lots less. I'm on the 1.2mg dosage; my stomach couldn't…Continue

Hello all! My doctor is pushing pretty hard for Victoza. I'm a little nervous. I was wondering if I could get some feedback. I have been trolling the forum a bit. I just thought I would ask directly. I really do appreciate any and all information you can give me. Thanks!

Comment by Michelle Hughes on May 3, 2011 at 7:42am
I take mine after breakfast in the morning. I started on .06 for a week and then went to 1.2 and had to go back to .07 because I have a sensitive stomach that needs to get use to it
Comment by Samantha on May 2, 2011 at 12:04pm
SEAGATOR, It depends. My endo did not give me any specifics I just assumed to take it in the AM with my morning meds. It will make some, or most, sick to the stomach at first. Most will get over it in time. If not, a new course of treatment may be necessary. I played with it and found out if I forced myself to eat 10 minutes before injecting in the morning I felt much better. 3 weeks after doing this I no longer was nauseated.

I do not use this medicine. I am on Care Team and trying to get an answer for a lady. Does she take VICTOZA before a meal> She was doing it at breakfast. Now she takes it at bedtime been sick from it her question do you take VICTOZA with FOOD? Thanks.

I took my third shot this morning. I've gotten sick both nights since I started on Victoza, but my BG is great! Staying right around 90 - 100 and I'm still on the lowest dose. I just hope that throwing up isn't the key to the weight loss!
Comment by Bunny on April 6, 2011 at 8:47pm
Hi everyone,
I too my first shot of this tonight. Felt a bit dizzy - but only for a minute. Wondering how this will work. I've had issues losing weight all my life. Pray for me!

I have been taking it for a couple of weeks now. It doesn't help my PP at all, but in fact makes me go hypo at the 4 hour mark.

What it does do is help my fasting numbers slightly.

IMO, it's not worth taking for myself. Insulin still has the best bang for the buck.
My last A1C a couple of weeks ago was 5.1 .

How's that for control?

PS the previous 2 A1C's were 5.2 and 5.3 going backward in time.

Today I hit my goal weight!! Words can't express how much Victoza and my diagnosis has changed my life. I feel better than I have in years!
Comment by Michelle Hughes on March 18, 2011 at 8:46am
Has victoza made anyone nauseated? Or give them pain in their lower abdomen?
