Hello Vitamine,,,I take Victoza and have been for about 2 years or so,,,and the main side effect is to my stomach,,it slows down the passage of food through it, and in the beginning caused constipation,,, so I now have 2 senna tablets everyday,,, I don't seem to feel hungry some days,,,,but I have changed some of my meds since last year in the effort to lose some weight,,,and it has worked, so I am continuing with the plan,,need a knee replacement someday,,,,I use alternate thighs for the daily injection,,,to prevent and sore spots and bruising,,,good luck with the treatment,,we are all here for each of other,,,,ttfn from karen.

Hi 

I have been taking Victoza for years 

no side effects but I don't see what good it is doing me at all. It hasn't curbed my appetite at all and hasn't helped me lose weight . I feel like  I am injecting stuff into my body that I don't need
