i am insulin sensitive. Means, anything that will spike my BS, will eventually, drop me into the 40s-50s. I did not tolerate Trulicity at all. After 3 wks of horrible s/e, I broke out in hives, head to toe. Next was, Rybelsus. This is my second month with it. I am tolerating it only w/Zofran to back me up.

Took Rybelsus for 7 months doctor prescribed for weight loss after I gained a lot after gallbladder removal. At first it was fine sort of helped with hunger and made cheese taste awful. But after three months I noticed I was nauseous all the time to the point of debilitation. I didn't suspect the medication because it was 3-4 months after I started taking it. But after an endoscopy the doctor ...

Side effects like acid reflux, throw up tendency and also constipation never went away. It’s been 3 months now. Definitely brings down glucose level and lose some weight too, but not worth the continuous I’ll feeling in the stomach. I am going to stop it

Rybelsus doesnt work worth a DAMN. You see those stupid commercials where actors tell that "my A1C used to be here (high) and now its here (low)." Well, I use a CGM. Before Rubelsus my "time on target" was 91% and since Rybelsus, my time on target is 33%. In my case, Rybelsus seems to be working the exact opposite way of the way it is supposed to; stimulation my liver to release more glucose and inhibiting my pancreas from releasing more insulin. Why did I start taking it if my time on target was 91%? Because i was taking metformin and glimeperide together and when I would sleep my blood glucose would drop dangerously low. One time it hit 30. Several times in the 40's. Quite a few times in the 50's and 60's. So I was put on Rybelsus to keep my blood glucose down in the normal range without getting to low. Well, yes, it never gets to low any more. But that is because i am in the high caution or danger area almost all the time. Rybelsus is worthless. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.Read More Read Less

This medicine caused extreme nausea and loss of appetite, but once I got used to it, it has been smooth sailing. I've discovered that if I hold the pill in my mouth for too long, an extremely bitter taste sits on my tongue (yecch). I advise everyone to place this pill near the back of your tongue as far as possible and quickly drink your sip of water. I dropped from an 8.2 A1C to a 6.4 A1C in three months and loss six pounds in addition to my 1000 mg Metformin.

I have had great results with about 2 years of Rybelsus! I had a weight loss of about 20 lbs (180 down to 160). The only thing I wish I knew when first taking it was that it had the potential to cause huge lowering of blood sugar. I was at work when I first took it, and had a fairly sudden extreme drop in blood sugar...luckily I had plenty of glucose tablets available. However, while I'm still taking Rybelsus, it seems to have lost its potency for me. I'm starting to have the extreme highs and lows I experienced prior to the use of Rybelesus. Has anyone else experienced this after longt erm use?Read More Read Less

I started this medication about 1 year ago. After increasing to 7mg I noticed skin sensitivity (almost like shingles pain) almost anywhere on my body that would last for days and then move to another spot. Like others I also had the GI side effects, but wanted to keep on it because it was helping my weight. After stopping the rybelsus (because of the skin soreness) the symptoms went away. But my weight climbed back up pretty quickly. Have restarted the rybelsus and the skin pain has restarted. I think I will have to stop it. Read More Read Less

I have been taking Rybelsus for a year and a half at the 7 mg. My life is miserable. I have terrible bloating, stomach pain and gas. I lost about 40 pounds and that is because you can not eat. It started to give me heart palpitations and now it is not controlling my sugar even with very little carb intake. I am going to discuss with doctor to find an alternative to this medication because it is making me miserable the longer I take it.

I started taking Rybelsus last year and again this year. no effect on weight loss, no effect on my blood suger. I had stomach pain, heartbeat, constipation and lower back pain. after every 6 month I had problem with vomiting. I think Rybelsus give me Acute gallbladder disease. every time I stop taking it, after a few days all the side effect was gone.I will never take it again. the biggest effect of Rybelsus was on my wallet.

I get N/V often, I am not tolerating any food with any amount of carbs, let alone sugar. I wear a CGM so i'm pretty confident of my numbers. Rybelsus on the whole, has been great at keeping my spikes lower. I get them, but they don't make me as sick. My A1C is great, but that really isn't the issue I have insulin sensitivity, which i'm told, if i cannot control this, will eventually be Type 2 diabetes. It's prevalent in my family.

This medication tore up my insides after only the 2nd dose. Had diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea so bad I couldn't move. Discontinued it right away. Of course you will lose weight because you can't keep food down
