I have tried Liraglutide, have some sema in the fridge but not had a chance to test it. Both are proper injection pens from Novo Nordisk, expensive as f*ck.
I am one of those that experiences pretty unbearable side effects from it. The rate seems to be much higher than actually reported (something like 20% it seems). Nausea goes away after the first couple of weeks for me, but the lethargy never did, not even after 3 months. And the lethargy is BAD. Like, career-affecting bad. I would literally fall asleep on my keyboard at 4pm.
It definitely was doing the trick though, and if I had ANY energy to go to the gym in the afternoon (which I NEVER did), I could've lost a lot of weight. It just solved the hunger "problem" for me, it made me only eat for sustenance - but at the cost of being constantly tired.
I gave up after 3 months. Did lose a few kilos but the main interesting effect was the change in appetite. And I say change, not suppression, but it affected things like cravings and snacking as well as just making me full faster. I can definitely see why it would work really well for those who tolerate it.
Sema is meant to be better, but most people who have bad sides with lira have the same issues with sema, so I don't have my hopes up.
- return_to_monke 4y agoThe lethargy is might well be due to the drastic caloric deficit your loss of appetite induced.
