User Reviews for Trulicity subcutaneous

Januvia and metformin user with not so great numbers. Severe stress jacked my fastings to 180-190. Doc put me on highest dose of T. Had nurse give first injection, a bit painful and seemed to take forever. 3 hours later bs dropped to 71, thought I was going to pass out in store- came home, ate fruit snacks and slept. Have to force myself to eat a meal. Day 5 tried to go Christmas shopping ended up sitting on floor in big box store eating fruit snacks, sweating so much wanted to disrobe- another bs drop. Loading my car was fun while trying to not vomit. Lost 5 pounds. Pharmacist said should have started on lower dose and work up but my doc disagrees. By the way my doc put me off for 2 weeks to let the medicine start working, I guess she knew what would happen. Not sure if I will take another high dose-MIGHT be willing to try lower dose.

I am taking ,75 dose once weekly. I am also on 2000mg of metformin, glipizide and Januvia.My blood sugars are now almost in normal ranges after 1 month on this medication. Goal is to drop Januvia,and glipizide as the Blood glucose stays normal.5 pounds of weight loss is a pleasant side effect.Only side effect was a little nausea in the first 2 weeks.

No problems at all. Was nervous from reading reviews. Also take 2000mg of metformin

No side effects at all. It's like my stomach went to sleep - hunger pangs are gone. Much easier to control my weight. My insurance covers all the cost, so that it an advantage. Also take 2000mg metformin. May not be for everyone but I'm down 15 lbs after 2 months.

To begin with, I took a smaller dose of Trulicity to bring down over all blood sugars. The dose was .75. Nausea, and indigestion was horrible for the first month I took it. I was put on promethesine for the nausea and stomach upset.Then, my Dr's PA decided to increase the dosage without warning. The nausea turned into projectile vomiting, severe stomach pain, bloating, etc. The entire side of my throat and glands was swollen and extremely painful. My doctor put me out of work for a week while I waited for the medicine to wear off. The whole time, nauseas, vomiting and worrying about thyroid cancer because of past history of it. I then had to go for a sonogram to make sure that the cancer has not returned. When they found 4 lymph nodes that showed up, that set the cancer watch on again. I have not yet had blood work to verify that it has not returned, that will happen in September. This has been Horrific and I would recommend this medication to NO ONE!!! CAVEAT EMPTOR!!! IT'S YOUR LIFE. Make an educated decision!!!Read More Read Less

Had no problems for the first fews weeks of taking Trulicity, but over the past 3 weeks, I have ongoing diarehha and have had vomiting eposides. Lots of gas, burping all the time and bloated. I ended up in the ER because the pains were so bad. At the time, I didn't know it was Trulicity but I suspected it, only because it was the only thing/medication that had changed. I loved the effectiveness of the drug, but it's not worth being sick all the time or my life. I'm hoping to find something out there that will be more compatible with my system. Read More Read Less

Exhaustion, vomiting, diarrhea, chills for 4 days after injection. I thought that I was going to die. Will never use again!

I have extreme nausea and pain after taking Truly city I ended up going by ambulance to emergency where I spent several hours. I will never take it again.

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 32 years and my doctor has recently put me on Trulicity (by that I mean I've taken 7 doses). It has brought my numbers down, I've lost 9 lbs, I get the occasional bout of heartburn and egg burps, and I'm never hungry...like ever...I'm eating because I know I have to not because I'm hungry. My only big complaint is with the delivery system. My first injection gave me a huge bruise so for my second dose I injected it into an unused syringe and then injected myself...seems to work and my doctor is ok with it so I'm going to keep doing it this way.Read More Read Less

I currently take Metformin, glimepride, jardiance and Trulicity. I still have to eat an early perfect diet extremely low in carbs to have acceptable blood sugar numbers. It's extremely frustrating and difficult to eat perfectly all the time. I had an apple and peanut butter for a snack and my fasting sugar was 145. I should be able to eat an apple! I feel like this isn't working.

My numbers are down since beginning Jan but started out with diarrhea and upper abdomen pain. Went away after 4 or 5 doses. Terrific weight loss but worried not getting enough greens. Then last week got flu but (had taken T in previous Wednesday) Diarrhea for about 12 hours... Then came the abdominal cramps. Bad cramps. Delayed next dose until Friday. Still flu like symptoms until today have really bad abdominal cramps now. Tried the Pepto. No relief yet. I wonder if this is from combo of drugs... I take Farxiga also. Guess I will have to wait out flu symptoms and go from there. I think T is incredibly easy to use, with no pain at injection site. Read More Read Less

I started trulicity 8 months back.HbA1c controlled to 6.0.Now every day I feel bloating and indigestion and burping with foul gas.I consulted gastro.Dr informed me that this is due to gall bladder blockage or inflammation.I am now confused whether i should stop truclicity ,may be because of trulicity my gall bladder may not produce enough enzymes for digestion.Any one can help me

Now on week 5 and have experienced incredible dry mouth, which nothing seems to help. Also experiencing acid reflux at night which sometimes keeps me up. Eating a fraction of what I used to and not complaining about that.

None of the side effects others have had. Dropped my numbers by 50 points consistently. More energy and stamina. Trulicity is also curbing hunger as well as feeling full long after meals. Have to remember to stop eating full meals. I hope like most here it brings my numbers down to 6 or even 5 A1C levels. That has never happened in 13 years as diabetic.

I just started on this not sure if this the cause of the medication but I've been feeling extremely cold sometimes and usually I'm always hot and than hot. Also past few days my neck and body been aching a bit when sleeping I have to switch position all night I feel a bit light headed at times but other than that seems ok for now.

I started 3 weeks ago with a little apprehension after reading the reviews but have been very happy with the results with little or no side effects.

Been using for two months. No side effects for me so far. Have lost weight, simply from appetite being less. So far, very satisfied.

I had very bad abdominal issues, diarrhea alternating with constipation. Always tired. Gained 10 pounds.

After day 5 with the nausea, diarrhea, sulfur burps, major stomach pain and vomiting. I'm done. I'm wiped out tired. I also have Celiac Disease and continually bouts with Diverticulitis that I believe is exaserbating this process. I'm glad it works for others, but it's not for me.
