Too early for me to tell with my mood, I think, but I’ve seen people say it’s increased their anxiety and they’ve had to stop. I reckon you should speak to your GP - maybe one of the other ones will work better.
I said a couple of pages back, but it definitely did for me. It got worse when I went up to about 1.8 ish. I ended up throwing my last pen away and I’m back to my old self and feeling better every day I’m off it. If you look it up online, there are a few sites warning about it, and I think it does mention it in the instructions but apparently it’s not listed as a ‘common’ side effect yet. It’s a shame as it did curb my appetite and stop me thinking about food all the time, even though I didn’t really lose much weight on it but it wasn’t worth it for me.Hey everyone, I’m a long time lurker on Tattle but never commented on anything before… just enjoy reading people having the same opinion as me on a lot of stuff! but I would really appreciate some advice/experience.
I’ve been using Saxenda for 6 weeks now, and it’s definitely helped with managing my appetite. I haven’t really had too many bad side effects, a bit of nausea when I go up a dose, but not bad enough to consider stopping it.
However my mental health has taken a huge dip. I have BPD so I don’t know if this is just “me”, but in the back on my mind I feel like this has happened since starting Saxenda.
I was going to try and ride it out but I ended up in A&E last night and I don’t know what to do.
Has anyone else felt any influence on their mental health whilst using Saxenda?
Sorry you are feeling like this, have a word with your GP and see what they come back with, they will give you the best advice. If they don't know you are on Saxenda they should not judge you, I am sure they are seeing lots of people who are taking it and not getting it through them, they should be glad people are trying to help themselves get in better health. No weight loss method is worth feeling like that though so I don't blame you thinking about stopping it. For what it's worth I have tried various diets, and for me personally it is the not eating enough and the running on empty that really screw's me up mentally, maybe you are not eating enough, sorry if that sounds daft but I know it can really effect my moods when I am really restricting my calories, take care and I hope you sort it out.Thank you
Okay so I think I’m going to have to seriously think about stopping it… I will talk to my GP though. I was enjoying having the appetite of a “normal” person though!
PersevereHi all; I’m new on this thread; I didn’t know it was here. I’m on ozempic and have done the 0.25/0.5/1mg transition. I’m on my second week of 1mg and have only Lost three pounds in 10 weeks. I’m eating way less and have been since the first week I took it, I’m full a lot earlier, not snacking and no longer having evening wine. I literally have 4 stones to lose approx and it just won’t go. I tried this as I’ve tried everything else and I’m so fucking sad it’s not working. And desperate.
I didn’t lose anything first 3 months of Ozempic but next 3 months lost 18 lbs. Hang on in there, it will happen.Hi all; I’m new on this thread; I didn’t know it was here.

No ask your go or contact my best weight for an appointment. I am not diabetic and could access ozempicGirls, so I know I should read all pages,but honestly, I can't, quick question for anyone in Ireland,can I buy this anywhere? Can I buy from Britain or Europe? Is it only prescribed for type 2 diabetes? I don't have type 2, but quite overweight
Thank you! I will! Is it covered on medical card or drug payment scheme if prescribed?No ask your go or contact my best weight for an appointment. I am not diabetic and could access ozempic

It definitely does have known side effects to impact mood. How irresponsible of Asda!No that doesn’t sound daft at all, thank you for replying!
I messaged Asda Online Doctor and they said that it is not known to affect mood so I should keep on taking it… I’m not convinced so I’m going to take everyone’s advice here and put on my big girl’s pants and speak to my GP.
Thank you everyone for being so kind here
Wow, that is shocking advice from Asda. Here’s all the possible side effects and suicide and depression is definitely listed.No that doesn’t sound daft at all, thank you for replying!
