Hi everyone,
I'm T2, have been taking Dapagliflozin 10mg and Sitagliptin 100mg, my last HBA1C had reduced from 70 to 60 thanks to the medication but my diet and eating have been very bad over the last few months due to serious mental health issues. I had an appt with DN a few days ago and she was happy with the last results but when I explained about my concern about my eating and particularly that I am hungry constantly and cannot stop eating she decided that putting me on Rybelsus was the way to go.
I had asked about Mounjaro (buying it privately, not through NHS) but she advised against it because my mental health has been so bad and she didn't know how it would affect me. I can understand that and am very grateful that she has been able to prescribe me something that can be properly monitored to see how I am while taking it.
I did try this medication about a year ago and had terrible headaches but she's told me to try and tolerate this for 4 weeks and come back to see her to see how I'm doing, also to take lots of water to stay hydrated. She's taken me off the Sitagliptin but I'll continue to take the Dapagliflozin with the Rybelsus. Does anyone take this medication who can give me any advice on it? Have you experienced bad side effects and how was the appetite suppression? Thanks in advance for any advice with this. I'm nervous to start it but I know I need to do something about my eating.
Maggie
