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. I get N/V often, I am not tolerating any food with any amount of carbs, let alone sugar. I w...
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 an endoscopy the doctor ...

The smaller strength pills had no real effect on appetite. The largest dose caused extreme nausea and diarrhea. Could not eat to take nailing because I felt so sick. The should be other strengths

I have been taking 3 mg rybelsus for 3 weeks and have tolerated it very well. Will start 7 mg in a week. Had slight light-headedness the first few days after starting med, but that went away quickly.

I have not tolerated any diabetic meds other than insulin up to using Rybellsus. Other meds have caused me stomach and GI tract upset and some with urniary tract issues. Rybellsus initial sample was 3mg a day for three weeks and a move up to 7mg which I am on now and I have tolerated the med very well. Blood sugar has shown better control and I expect to be moved up to 14mg.

I was put on rybelsus about two months ago the first month was with the 3 mg pill and I was put on the 7 mg pill about a week or so I couldn’t sleep had bad dreams I could have eaten the refrigerator if I could have and the real bad thing was my heart was always running away I went from a 100 pause up to a 130 pause in a while so I just went back to my doctor and told her to take me off of it

I took this medication for 30 days. I had stomach pain every day that I took it .Nausea all day long .I could not eat enough because of these side effects, so I experienced low blood sugars . It isn't convenient to have to take it on an empty stomach.
