I have been taking Byetta for almost a year. Has anyone heard of any long term side effects from Byetta?

Lin replied to Lin's discussion 'Questions about Byetta'"I have heard this too. It seemed like the Byetta was not effecting my appetite at all like when I first started taking it.
I am starting it again today, hopefully it will help. Thanks & have a great day!!"
Lin replied to Lin's discussion 'Questions about Byetta'"Thank you for your response. That's what I was thinking. I think it is like that with a lot of medications. Sometimes our body get used to the med & it does do good to get a break from it. Thanks again."
Brian (bsc) replied to Lin's discussion 'Questions about Byetta'"That is a good point. Bernstein actually suggests that Byetta and Victoza lose effectiveness withing 3-6 months and suggest an ongoing rotation between the two medications."
Stemwinder replied to Lin's discussion 'Questions about Byetta'"You should have no more problems now that you did when you first started, maybe even less. Some peope think a break from Byetta is a good thing. Byetta tends to loose it's effectiveness in some people over time. A short break is thought to help…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Lin's discussion 'Questions about Byetta'"I went on and off and then back on Byetta with no problem."
Lin replied to Lin's discussion 'Questions about Byetta'"I did but didn't see any post that answered my question. Sorry!!"

Has anyone ever taken Byetta for a period of time & stopped taking it & then started taking it again? If so did you have any problems? I was on Byetta for several months & I had to stop because I was unable to get my meds (ins problem). Since I can get my Byetta again, do you think I would have any problems with just starting back up on 5 mg like I did the very first time I started it?
lotsofshots left a comment for Lin"Hi there, I hope you have a super fantastic Happy Birthday today!"
Lin replied to Lin's discussion 'Long Term use of Byetta'"Sometimes it helps me & sometimes not. I am wondering too if I need to change to the Victoza. My Dr said that the Byetta has greater effect on the appetite but I don't know. I also take metformin. I am a type 2, not to the point of insulin…"
Lin replied to Lin's discussion 'Long Term use of Byetta'"I have always taken it on an empty stomach & it never did this to me before. Maybe It is just a change in by body for some unknown reason. It seems to only do it in the morning but not in the evening. I have been on 10 mcg for a long time, like…"
s6954118 replied to Lin's discussion 'Long Term use of Byetta'"I took it for a year and the only thing I can say is after awhile it did not effect my appetite. The same with Victoza after I was on it for 5 or 6 months it no longer had an effect. I am back on MDI insulin"
Brian (bsc) replied to Lin's discussion 'Long Term use of Byetta'"One of the report side effects of Byetta is nausea. Often patients are started on 5 mcg and then slowly moved up to a full dose of 10 mcg. I apparently have an iron stomach and would eat worms and not get nauseous. I have heard from others that had…"
Lin replied to Lin's discussion 'Long Term use of Byetta'"Thank you so much for the info. I have to go for my routine bloodwork in a week or so & follow up with my Dr on my meds. I was just wondering about any long term side effects because the last week after I take my Byetta, I get this terrible wave…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Lin's discussion 'Long Term use of Byetta'"I took Byetta for nearly two years and I had no long term effects. And despite rumors, my face is not a result of long-teerm Byetta use."

Byetta Pen Drips
Posted on June 4, 2010 at 9:08am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I am new to TuDiabetes. I have been on Metformin for a few years & last December my Dr put me on Byetta. I have lost some weight but am kinda at a holding point. I have a question. When I take my Byetta injection, I have noticed that there is Byetta slowly dripping from the needle. I used to never see this but with this pen I have. Do you think it may just be the pen & do you think I am getting the medicine? Sometimes I feel like it curbs my appetite & other times it doesnt. Has… Continue
