Hi Tankgirl and welcome.

I'll bump your post up to see if someone on Liraglutide, (Victoza), can answer your query.

Hi, I've been on Victoza for 6 weeks, started on 0.6for 2 weeks then 1.2 no side effects for me, but everyone is differeb . I didn't have any side effects on sitagliptin either.

Thank you for your replies.
I have been on Sitagliptin and had terrible itching and been sick quite a bit but then again i have a reaction to Metformin too but my nurse wants me to go on Liraglutide but tells me its the same family of drugs and i would expect the same reactions. Other option is insulin
