Took Victoza and it brought my levels down to a more normal level right away. As time went on, I just couldn't eat, and had stomach pains. By the end of the first month I was in the hospital for an intestinal blockage. 5 days with a plastic tube up my nose and I was released from the hospital. Very dangerous side effects they forget to mention

Victoza worked very effectively at reducing my A1C but it destroyed my taste buds making most foods, except sweets, taste terrible. I quit taking it because I wanted to enjoy the taste of food again. Since quitting it, food again tastes OK. I suspected that people lost weight because they experienced the same thing. I may try to go back on it intermittently because it does lower my A1C.

Sad ending------- Stopped due to unreal copay{ to the tune of $286}. Would LOVE to be back on it as it was THE ONLY med, ever, to affect my blood sugar at all. So it is back the the 4-500's and upcoming weight gain thanks to big pharma. ONLY in America!

Started using Victoza to control blood sugar which it had done. I have been able to back off of my novel in N by over 1/2. I have also lost 24 pounds in 3 months on Victoza. I kind of turns off the hungar switch, abnd it is much easier to diet and say " I don't really want that ". We're pleased that I am using it. If you are on Medicare, watch your cost.

I was on WellCare part D abnd Victoza was $770.00 a month. Switched to Atena this year and it is $35.00 per month. I just don't get these drug companies, but you can get it for a reasonable price on Medicare.

I stopped the Victoza for a week to see if that was the problem. It was and I also noticed my breathing got better. I went back on Victoza and both the diarrhea and breathing problems came back so I can no longer take it. I would become out of breath just walking from the parking lot into a store. I was also tired a lot as I was not getting enough oxygen. Now my energy level has also gotten better. I was really disappointed as my A1c was lowered while I was takeing Victoza.
