User Reviews for Trulicity subcutaneous

Doctor says it takes a week to start working. Day one, disoriented. Day two, headache and nausea. Day three, less headache and less nausea. Day four, no headache and intermittent nausea. Day five, intermittent nausea and constipation. Day six, intermittent nausea and constipation that concerns me. No effect on blood sugar yet. Will see what happens with second injection in two days.

2nd week on Trulicity. First week nausea, integestion, lack of appetite. I'm planning on staying on this medication for a reasonable amount of time 4-6 weeks. Lowers my BS sufficently.

I just started my 2nd week on Trulicity. Because of some of the comments, I was very apprehensive about starting the drug. During my first week I had bouts of nausea but no vomiting and I could work through them. A Malox tab help. The nausea lessened as I approached the second dose day. On my second dose day (Sat.), I had one minor nausea but now, 3 days after dose 2, I have no nausea at all. The only thing that I notice now is that my stomach gets a little cranky at meal time, before I eat and my appetite seams a bit suppressed which is good. My A1C was 8 something. I am anxious to see what it will be at the next test. P.S. I just had a favorite aunt pass away because of diabetes complications at much too early an age. I am paying now paying attention!Read More Read Less

I have been using this medication since mid February and haven't had problems until now I take my shot every Thursday. Sunday night the sulphur burps started I knew these from being on victoza. Then diarrhea all day today, I am disappointed that I am getting these side effects this medication has helped lower my A1c and lose weight. I will take it this Thursday but if I continue to get the side effects I will not continue. It was a nightmare on victoza.

Been taking med foe 2.5 weeks.Blodd sugar levels went from 150-180 down to 80-110. Nausea and constipation are the main side effects I have experienced. Went from 4 bowel movements per day to 1 bowel movement every other day. Nausea is usually only at night time. I have gained 2 lbs so far.

I've been on Trulicity now since 21st of march. We have a program in our town that helps you with getting expensive drugs i would normally never be able to afford.You might want to check where you live at your DHS. I had used Victoza as a 3 week free sample and recently Faxigia. I picked the once weekly injection Trulicity over Victoza's daily shot and Faxigia's once daily pill. I don't seem to have any side effects others complained about but did notice Victoza did curb my hunger better. Truicity seems to make me nauseous after about 15 minutes of eating a large meal? Victoza kinda made me feel nauseous and not want to eat. As i'm insulin resistant i'm all alot meds like 30mg Actos, 2000mg Metformin, 2mg Glimepiride daily. The doctor has lowered my Novolin N morning injection from 120 units to 70 and evening injections from 80 units to 30 because of my lower glucose numbers. I've had several low glucose events both day and nightly and i go back the 26th of this month for a A1-C to see about adjusting my meds.Read More Read Less

After the 2nd weekly dose, I had a bad case of gout in my lfeft foot. Also, all my joints were hurting me 10 times worse than usual. I also noticed that I was having wierd thoughts. I stopped taking it after the third week. It has been two weeks now since I stopped taking it and I feel almost back to normal.

Horrible nausea. Constipation. Had to stop using it. It was moderately effecting at reducing blood glucose, but how much of that was because I was hardly eating anything.

Started having palpitations with this med. severe hoarseness and difficulty swallowing. Chest pains daily. Had to stop taking this med.

Love the results of this medication just wish there was some way to reduce the injection pain.

Horrible gastric issues , heartburn, reflux and severe bloating.

I've been on this now for about 3 months. My morning fasting blood sugars have been higher since I started with an average now of 183. I'll be taking another A1C this week and expect it will increase. Previously it was at 7.3 but I was on another weekly injection. Hopefully my doctor will change or modify my treatment.

My sugar levels went from the 200's to normal. There have been some lows because I had to adjust my Novalog down with meals. I don't need half the novalog I use to. My only complaint is the 10 seconds of pain when injecting. Wow, it hurts. No weight loss, but at least sugar levels are almost cut in half, and no big highs since I started. It's been 5 weeks and no side effects. I think this is a great drug.

HYPOGLYCEMIA is not an issue with me so the medication gets all 5-Stars from me. My blood sugar has gone from the mid 200's to 150 every morning. It works well with Jardiance and metformin. I'm on the 1.5 dose and nausea is not an issue. Weight loss is also much easier with these drugs, which helps lower the readings too. Great drugs by Eli Lilly and the insurance company recommended them to me, as cost effective treatment. They got that right and I am in.

from week one worked to get my blood sugar down first few days did not feel well at all stayed with it dr and insurance co wanted me to try it longer long story short blood pressure sky high had ekg showed inferior wall MI had Catherization lucky no damage don't use this crap insurance co made them out me back on Victoza yay or I was going to sue them

I am a person with Type 1 and started to use this drug 3 weeks ago to help with weight loss. The first week I had a very mild upset stomach, but nothign some ginger-ale couldn't fix. I have so far had no other side effects. I feel full, not bloated. I find I have been eating more slowly, and feel full faster. No bloat (not to be confused with feeling full). No pains, nothing else. I have shed a few pounds but not sure if it's a result of the things I just wrote, or else. But, I look forward to seeing what happens.Read More Read Less

This is the beginning of my 4th week. My blood sugar was almost impossible for me to get below 150 prior to starting Trulicity. exactly 1 week after starting my blood sugar was perfect! 30 day average of 138, 14 day average 128. I have been in touch with myself to find any kind of side effect. I have not been able to find one. I am so happy!

A1c from 770 to 620 over 6month period

Started with small dose injection. Blood sugar went from 170/180 to 250/275 almost immediately.Doctor changed dose to larger dose injection. Blood sugar climbed again. I also felt real bad and had issues with my legs and balance. Stopped the injections and went back to orals. Blood sugar now in the 135/155 range. I WILL NOT USE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN.
