There was evidence to suggest it gave a higher propensity for pancreatic cancer in the studies done on mice I think.I've just completed my online questions with Boots, so hopefully I can join you all on this journey. A couple of people mentioned cancer risks here? I haven't read about that anywhere, can anyone tell me more?
It does say it can cause low mood and that’s one of the common side effects of it and it’s not suitable for people who’ve previously had suicidal ideation. Hope you’re ok, just keep a wee eye on it xAnyone else feel pretty down on Saxenda? I’m trying to work out if my low moods are the sax or just the fact life is pretty crap at the moment (as in cost of living, government crap and some work stress). Really don’t want to stop Sax as it is working but also wondering if I’m making my life more mentally difficult by sticking with it
In addition to the pancreatitis & pancreatic cancer warnings, it affects your hormones so can also lead to thyroid cancer and is not recommended if you have family history of endocrine issues or thyroid cancerI've just completed my online questions with Boots, so hopefully I can join you all on this journey.

I know how you feel... I'm only a couple of weeks into Ozempic and the first few days, I did wonder am I just really busy/distracted with work or is it a placebo effect or because I'm so conscious of the jab that I don't feel hungryI’ve just started saxenda, tomorrow will be first week done.
I’m more concerned my lack of eating is just mental like I know I’m on these expensive jabs therefore loss of appetite is just that rather than anything from the pen itself.
Does anyone feel like this?
I’m obviously weighing but it’s the inch loss for me too. I’m 9 weeks in and have lost 10 inches off my waist which is mental. I seem to be losing weight from all the right places which is the first time this has ever happened.I'm going to primarily care about the inches. Someone in the thread earlier posted their two pairs of jeans.....and honestly that has me buzzing. I have so many jeans that used to fit me. They're not even that small, but if I can shed a few inches it will be incredible to get back into them.
Would you mind to talk about the differences between both? I’m looking to start one or the other once my GP approves it but once a week on Ozempic feels so much easier than the daily jab.I’ve just gone up to 1.0mg on Ozempic…feeling like the early days of Saxenda. I’m hoping to get the corresponding weight loss!
I was plateauing on each dose but reluctant to move up because of side effects each time but I’m settled at 3.0 and still losing consistently now (feel like it’s almost ramped up a bit on the higher dose)… took me a while to get here mind you as I was so sick each time I increased.Has anyone plateaus the weight loss on sax? I’m on 2.4 now and plateaud for a while . Tried to increase and felt rubbish . Maybe it’s worked the most it will for me ? I’m a stone and a half down
My 1.8 to 2.4 was horrible , was feeling rough then it settled but have plateaud . Maybe I just need to push through and get up the dosageI was plateauing on each dose but reluctant to move up because of side effects each time but I’m settled at 3.0 and still losing consistently now (feel like it’s almost ramped up a bit on the higher dose)… took me a while to get here mind you as I was so sick each time I increased.
That was the worst step for me (1.8 to 2.4) and I found 2.4 to 3.0 the easiest of them all. I did sit on 2.4 for a couple of weeks though til the side effects died down. Good luck if you up xMy 1.8 to 2.4 was horrible , was feeling rough then it settled but have plateaud . Maybe I just need to push through and get up the dosage
ThankyouThat was the worst step for me (1.8 to 2.4) and I found 2.4 to 3.0 the easiest of them all. I did sit on 2.4 for a couple of weeks though til the side effects died down. Good luck if you up x
