Victoza for weight loss without diabetes
I was on Victoza for about 5 weeks and had been on the full dosage for just 1 week when I developed a rash around the injection area. Any comments on this medication would greatly be appreciated. I was on Victoza for about 5 weeks and had been on the full dosage for just 1 week when I developed a rash around the injection area. Sure enough, when I called my doctor I was told to stop taking it. Victoza was also making me dizzy all of a sudden and I was very, very tired. I told my doctor yesterday that I was leery about taking this, but he seems to think this is a good medication to take. I just started Byetta 1 week ago after being off of Victoza for 2 weeks. I took my first dose this morning of Victoza and so far there has been no nausea--I just hope it lasts. I have read that the weight loss effect of Byetta is very slow. I was on Byetta but the nausea never stopped and I felt bad all of the time. Sure enough, when I called my doctor I was told to stop taking it. Turns out it can kill you if you are allergic to it.
I miss Victoza and envy those of you who can take it. I just started Byetta 1 week ago after being off of Victoza for 2 weeks. Every time I injected myself, a circular rash about 2 inches wide would develop at the injection point. I have gained back 5 pounds, 1 since being on Byetta.

Every time I injected myself, a circular rash about 2 inches wide would develop at the injection point. I am heartbroken because the weight loss effect of Victoza is amazing. I am heartbroken because the weight loss effect of Victoza is amazing. I would just like to know if anyone has lost weight or has had any side effects while taking this medication. I have Type 2 Diabetes and was put on Victoza yesterday, my doctor wants me to take this for weight loss.
