[QUOTE="mammacaz, post: 93198, member: 21019"] [b]Re: Victoza[/b] Hi Guys, I have been on Liraglutide since May through a drug trial. I take 1500mg Metformin along with Ezetrol and inject 1.8ml Liraglutide daily. Well to start with yes there was nausea and when I upped the dose to 1.2ml I was violently sick and then my lips and face swelled up that people thought I had had lip augmentation, not nice. Since then I have been sick a few times and I always know when I am going to do so as I get 'Eggy Burps' ugh! I laughily call it the injectible gastric band as it only allows you to eat a very small amount and then it is like the entrance to the small instestine shuts off and anything that is left in the stomach comes back up within 12 hours and this is includes the trots like you wouldn't believe. The great thing about it is though that my BG is well down, into the normal range most days. But there are days that I really feel like c**p and I am wondering if it is worth all the stomach pains and the constant feeling that my tummy is sore and swollen. I go back next week for two visits the first one will be where they take a load of bloods which will be analysed for the Friday which is when they will decide whether I continue as I am or they add insulin, the second route is not one I want to go on as I do not want to start taking insulin. I would like to know what people think not necessarily for advice but your comments would be most welcome especially if you are taking this medication. The other thing that I am having doubts about is that to start with I lost around 3kgs but now it has stopped and I am having other symptoms that I am a little worried about including neck pains no visible goitre , I am now more constipated something that is not normal for me especially on Metformin, and numbness in my hands similar to rsi.
