[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 67799, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi Phil, Byetta isn't a miracle weight loss medication! A loss of half a stone a month is pretty good by any standards. Your doctors are right in that xenical and Byetta can be used together, but they have only given you half the story.

Can't help with exercise advise - not my area of expertise! On moving up to the 10mcg dose most people suffer the same effects they did on starting the 5mcg dose, but for less time. So if you suffered a week of nausea on the 5 dose you may suffer 3 or 4 days of the same at the 10 dose. If you had no nausea at 5 then it is very likely that you won't experience it at 10 either.
