User Reviews for Trulicity (dulaglutide)

I took one shot. How ever I think the dose was WAY to high. Regardless. It was not pleasant at all. I puked for two days and am bleeding blood clotting that is the size of my palm. It’s horrible. It hurts. I hate how it’s making me feel. I’m on day 5 after shot and it’s terrible

Second time in two years the family physician has prescribed Trulicity and it's an epic failure. After injecting the medicine I experience flu like symptoms for three or four days. Muscle soreness, nausea, lethargy. It feels like I've played three football games in one day I'm that sore. For days. I don't recommend this at all. If you want flu like symptoms for three or four straight days, then take it. I'm not!

This drug works well for me. My last A1C was under 6. I haven’t had any side effects. It beats taking metformin twice a day. ‘

TruIicity will keep you from eating and improve your blood sugar. I tried this twice. The 2nd time I was googling for problems. This drug affects your brain and your hormones. Women have worse periods, get pregnant when they are on birth control and gives you or increases ANXIETY. I felt like I was jumping out of my skin. Couldn't eat anything but saltines, bananas and water for 2 weeks. My last dose was 2-25-24. It took 6 weeks before I felt like it was out of my system. I feel I am still having 'episodes' from it. Diarrhea, nausea, no appetite, pounding heart, burning up and anxiety like I have never had. I would like to know how long it will take before I am NOT being affected by this drug anymore. If you have anxiety, stay away from Trulicity.Read More Read Less

My A1C is 7.6 and I weigh 263 lbs my Dr. just started me on Trulicity and so far I’ve only experienced a little diarrhea the second day. But giving myself the shot does hurt thankfully it’s only once a week. I’m hoping my A1C drops and I lose weight on this drug.

While the medication works well for me, I really hate the delivery method of this device. Can't stand how it shoots the needle into you. Sometimes, it will just strike areas that hurt like hell. Wish I could just insert the needle myself rather than having it shoot into me.

NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE. NOT A GOOD MEDICINE TO START.

Would not recommend. I was vomiting for a whole day on the 2nd day of my 1st dose. Couldn’t even hold down water. Never again will I use Trulicity.

Constant vomiting the 2nd day after my first dose. Can’t hold any fluids down. In bed with a very sick stomach. Trulicity set off my IBS aswell. This stuff is poison. Would not recommend.

I started taking trulicity May 2021. This is the best thing that could’ve ever happened to me. My A1c went from 9.2 and I’m currently at 5.1 I am off of Metformin and I am only taking 10 units of insulin per night instead of 40. I have lost 57 pounds and I am in the best shape of my life since taking trulicity 4.5 I have never had any problems using this medication. The needles are not painful at all. You don’t feel a thing.

I've been on the lowest dose since the end of May when I gave myself my first injection. The second week I had my first reaction, I thought I caught the stomach bug, but my Sister In law who takes something similar said it was the trulcity. Okay, everything was fine till I went away for a few days and had some fried clam strips at night and also wasn't drinking enough, this was in July. I got sick, so I learned That lesson, so I avoided fried and fatty foods. I have on occasion had a baked good with no problems until recently where I had some then the next day experienced the consequences of having coffee cake and other goodies. I'm happy with my progress with the weightloss but the consequence of having any baked goods is going to put a wrench in enjoying any seasonal treats come the holidays, guess I'll have to make something for myself?Read More Read Less

I started Trulicity 2 weeks ago after being unhappy with the side effects of metformin and Jardiance. Glucose levels immediately dropped to the normal range, I lost 7 pounds in the first 2 weeks. Easy to administer, no side effects.

Going on 2 years of Trulicity. A1C went from 6.9 to 6.1 and I lost 54 lbs. I'm eating healthier with few cravings. Though the progress is slow I will continue because I feel great. My family doctor is pleased with my progress.

I've been on this medicine since June 22,2023. Honestly I haven't loss any weight, maybe 2-4 pounds. The needle does hurt, and the area does burn when injecting the medicine. No side effects ever since I started.

I used to be on Ozempic and it was nice the needle didn’t hurt but this needle is so painful I get anxiety now when I have to use it.

This medicine only gives me side affects if I eat bad foods if i eat right it doesn’t bother me… It has lowered my blood sugar levels so try eating better maybe that’s the problem.

My endo recommended I start Trulicity when My A1C went upto 9. The first 2 months were rough, but once I learned which foods to avoid, it got better. I lost 30 lbs and A1C down below 7. My only complaint is the injection can be painful.

Having been on Ozempic for a couple of years I was forced to use Truelicity because of the shortage of Ozempic in the marketplace. I am not overly impressed with this product. Based on my daily glucose readings, I'm not seeing any big improvements in my numbers, they have remained pretty much the same but the worst thing about this drug is the injection method. For the last two injections I've experienced nothing but problems with the injectors, I have pushed the trigger and the button will not go down. I'd hold that button down for several minutes and still nothing happened, no matter how much pressure I applied. Oh, I'd hear the first click but never the second. So when I'd remove the injector from my skin, I could see that no medicine had been released so I'd try again, and still nothing. The trigger would not go down. After the second try, after I'd removed it from the injection site and pushed the trigger the stupid thing would start to work and I'd lose the entire dose. What a piece of junk! I've tried with it being cold from the refrigerator and also letting it warm up a bit and still have been unsuccessful in getting a dose of medicine. Also, I do have to say those loud clicks are disturbing and startle me every time. I'll be so glad when I run through these doses, (if I ever manage to use them) so I can get back on Ozempic.

I'm type II. Started Trulicity in May 2023 with a A1C at 10.5, I was feeling terrible. Started using Freestyle Libra monitoring devise to see what was going on. Found out that my blood sugar was fluctuating as a non-diabetic but it was staying in the high range constantly and would get worse with fasting and early morning while sleeping. Started with .75 for first month and increased to 1.5mg. Just had A1c checked and is now at 6.2 after 3 months! I'm over the moon First week I felt pretty nauseous, second week was better but still nauseous, each week got better and after first month really didn't have any side effects. And honestly after feeling so terrible for so long from high glucose the slight discomfort was nothing compared to what I had been feeling. I have been on and continue to take Metformin. Hoping that within a year I can go back to just Metformin. Lost about 10lbs. I'm very fortunate that insurance covers Trulicity at 100%. Read More Read Less

Started Trulicity in June of 2023 and still on it. I have lost 40+ pounds. I ate slowly, healthy and stayed away from sugary, and fried foods. Purchased raw ginger for tea, any nausea or upset stomach subsided immediately with raw ginger, just boil and drink tea hot or cold. To keep weight off... . I'm walking daily, and stretching. Thanks Trulicity ??
