"I found that I had to eat "just enough" to take the hunger away. I have also found, after a year being on it, that I can live quite well on the decreased food intake. I thought I needed to eat more, but apparently not. Anyway, the nausea…"

AngieMel replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Managing Stomach Issues with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"Hi Diagnosed!
I'm a new T2, and in my very 1st week of Victoza and it's the only thing I'm taking so far (doc wants me to start Metformin in a few weeks, but since I've never been on ANY medication we want to see how I react to…"
Pauly replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Managing Stomach Issues with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"I find taking a glucose tablet helps end my nauseous feeling, Sometimes I even take a half a glucose tablet. Its a matter of experimenting. I find if I go into the 60's then I know I need the tablet. I have split the does of Victoza too, One in…"

I've been on Victoza for 3 months. Within 1 day, I had the following gastro issues: lots of stomach gas; lots of burping; and some heartburn. Also, there was a sense…"
Diagnosed-in-2001 replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Constipation with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"I had a hunch that a stool softener might help, and was given the ok by my physician. Since starting to take Dulcolax about 12 days ago, things have improved considerably."

Brigitte replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Constipation with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"I wasn't suggesting a laxative or stool softener... yikes! I was taking Fiber Choice which solved any issues I had but it sounds like you get enough perhaps? If you aren't in pain I might not worry too much about it. I was having pain from…"
Diagnosed-in-2001 replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Constipation with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"I'm pretty sure that my new 'stool schedule,' i.e., every other day instead of once a day, reflects less food intake. The constipation-difficulty first reared its head after one month on Victoza, and it occurs perhaps once or twice a…"
Brigitte replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Constipation with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"Good Morning... I haven't experienced any constipation but I do take Victoza. Don't give up on it just yet. Maybe what you are experiencing has to do with your diet? You stated you have lost 25lbs in 2 months. That's quite a bit of…"

Constipation with Victoza
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 handle things at 1.8mg, so my endocrinologist suggested going back to 1.2mg. Earlier I posted a query about various 'stomach issues.' While most of those are not much of a big deal now, unfortunately constipation has kicked in pretty well. My 'solid…See More
Diagnosed-in-2001 replied to Christopher's discussion 'Victoza raising cholesterol?' in the group VICTOZA"I'm T2, have been on Victoza for 4.5 weeks, but haven't had a lipid panel test done then. The next one will be in three months; I'll try to remember to report my results then.
FYI, a google search found the…"

Ellie replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Managing Stomach Issues with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"But you're not on glyburide anyway, so the Victoza should not cause lows. Metformin does not either."
Ellie replied to Diagnosed-in-2001's discussion 'Managing Stomach Issues with Victoza' in the group VICTOZA"My endo said the only risk of hypoglycemia is from the glyburide. That is, what the Victoza does does not cause hypos. Its action is to slow emptying of the stomach, control runaway liver in the AM, and pump out a bit more insulin to better digest…"
