To those of you who have gotten it from your GP or through a weight management clinic at hospitals, does this mean you don’t pay for it/pay prescription prices instead of the full price? Just curious. I’ve discussed with my endocrine speaking to the weight management team but I’m not sure how beneficial it would beI’ve got Saxenda through weight management clinic at the hospital. I’ve had to stop it because I just feel so nauseous all the time! I’m going to restart it soon, see if it is better then but my god it’s not agreed with me. Gutted as I feel like it’s such a huge opportunity
Sounds like you may need to up the dose potentially, I took a week off and it was super frustrating having to start from the beginning again, I only really started feeling it working again from 1.8ishHi all,
I have been using Saxenda for a few weeks now, on 0.9ml and was losing weight and feeling good. I took a week off due to going on holiday and re-started back on 0.6 on Tuesday - I’m feeling absolutely nothing. I still have a huge appetite, it’s not been suppressed at all. I’ve not even got any of the negative side effects I have having before e.g. dry mouth/tiredness. I’ve checked the pen and it’s still working and it’s been less than 30 days since I opened it.
Any ideas what’s happened? Perhaps I’m being impatient and it will take a few more days to take effect.
Thanks!
I pay for it same price as a prescription, the last time I got 3 boxes of 5 pens though.To those of you who have gotten it from your GP or through a weight management clinic at hospitals, does this mean you don’t pay for it/pay prescription prices instead of the full price?

Please keep us posted (and have a great trip!)I’m hoping they sell boxes in the pharmacies in Greece, hoping to stock up cheaply!
Going in 4 weeks but hopefully they have some, the Facebook group had lots of people getting it in turkeyPlease keep us posted (and have a great trip!)
Amazon do them, not sure if they’re loads more expensive there. You want to look for insulin pen needles 4mm 32gCan anyone suggest somewhere I can buy more needles please? Looking online they seem to be out of stock everywhere
Try increasing the ‘clicks’ gradually over a few days until you’re at 1.2mg. It will help reduce the side effects if you slowly build up the dose.On 0.6 for five 5 days now, skipped a day on middle as had a family wedding and was worried I'd be sick. I feel like it's not fully working....I feel a bit more full be definitely still eating away. Maybe it will come in time. Very concerned about moving up at the weekend though....some people's experiences are awful.
