User Reviews for Trulicity subcutaneous

I just stated trulicity yesterday and I didn't sleep well at all,my heart was beating fast,I will continue into next week but my legs are weak and I just don't feel like myself

"Decided to get off Jardiance and try Trulicity. Worst idea ever. My Apple Watch alerted me after a month that my heart rate has been more elevated than normal the past 2 weeks ( injection 3&4 of .75). Which I felt. The final straw was walking to pick my son up from school and getting in the car and feeling dizzy. I checked my heart rate and it was 145! It came back down but kept going back up doing simple stuff. I’m talking 161 HR Just going to do laundry. I finally called my Dr and told her to take me back to Jardiance. I went to the ER to get checked. Everything check out except my heart rate was elevated. And the only thing I’ve done or added different was the Trulicity. My last shot was last saturday and slowly my heart rate has returned to normal. I’ll take peeing like crazy with Jardiance over my super high heart rate with Trulicity."Read More Read Less

I have been on Trulicity for 15 months now. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Due to severe side-effects and the fact that I responded to it so quickly, my dosage was never increased. My A1c had suddenly jumped to 8.6 after being in the high 6-low 7 range with the help of Metformin and Tradjenta for couple of years. My A1c dropped quickly and my last one was 5.7. I have also lost 31 pounds which was much needed! That’s the love part. For me it works extremely well, even at the lowest dose. The hate part is the terrible side-effects. Apparently I am not “most people”. While they are not as intense as they were initially, they are definitely still an issue. I am keeping my fingers crossed. The past three weeks, though not without side-effects completely, have been the best I have had this far and hopefully the trend will continue! If so, my perseverance will have been paid off. Rather than switch to something which may have the same or even a worse effect and not been as effective, I made the decision to grab the beast by the horns and try to figure out and take note of what worked and what didn’t. For example, though it sounds counterproductive, keeping a little something in my stomach actually seems to help so for about three days I eat small meals supplemented with light snacks about every two hours. It is a love-hate relationship that has been going on for more than a year and finally it is showing some indication that finally it may be slowly improving.Read More Read Less

I just started Trulisty. About a few hours after my first injection I noticed I was getting a bad headache and nausea.Stomach also hurting. Praying this is just temporary.

Where to begin. Started Trulicity in October 2022. Started with some mild nausea and fullness. Fast forward to today. Dr pulled due to horrible body pain all over upper body, burps that where hard to pass, weakness, vision changes shakiness and not to mention severe headache that runs all over. I literally feel like I’m dying. I’ve never experienced anything like this. I’m hoping the side effects diminish fast. A week of this was enough for a lifetime. Be careful. Most of the severe side effects aren’t mentioned or discussed. Read More Read Less

My A1C was 8.6 and my doctor switched me to trulicity .The day after I took my first dose I started projectile vomiting ?? and I felt nauseous with the sour burps, chills, shaking, and a severe headache that persisted for 5 days afterwards. NOT an experience I ever want to have again!!! I was so dehydrated that I had to go to the Emergency Room. I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days. No prior g.i. issues before taking it. No second dose for me. Went back to Januvia and been on that ever since. Read More Read Less

Started on Trulicity.75 for two months. Some fatigue and mood changes. A1C dropped from 7..6 to 6.3. After 8 weeks the dreaded diarrhea and stomach pain began. I thought it was a bug but it continued. Doctor upped the dose to 1.5 and the nightmare continued. Now at 4 months and it’s horrible. Doctor suggested going every 10 days between injections. Days 1 and 2 are ok. Day 3-5 are horrible and then repeat. I have had enough and cannot handle the stomach pain And diarrhea as well as fatigue. I’m done with Trulicity. Read More Read Less

Started with 1.5mg. Side effects rough for 3 weeks. After 3 months it was increased to 3mg. Side effects are horrible. N/V, diarrhea, belching. Told my doctor no more.

One week. I can't do a second. Rib, abdomen , lower back and calf pain. Constant. I woke after 2 hours sleep with strong headaches from Day 2 through 7. Painful. Felt like high blood pressure headaches. Vacillating constipation and diarrhea. This has been a tough week. I was able to eat less and my glucose testing#s were lower. Today, I could not eat . Food made me nauseous. At 600 calories for the day, I did tolerate unsweetened applesauce and crackers. I'm feeling some relief as Trulicity is wearing off. I'm stoic and I usually persevere on most things. I cannot imagine doing this again and again, hoping it would get better. Read More Read Less

so far so good. I've been on this for 3 months each month getting an increase towards 3.0mg. I start my 3.0mg shots as soon as the pharmacy gets them in. I noticed slight nausea my first month and some indigestion. That has gone away. I get a pretty good headache similar to a migraine the 2nd day after my shot. I'm down 10 pounds since I started. I'm really hoping this continues to help. My labs are good, but need to lose another 80lbs. The good thing is my appetite is curbed, basically eating half the portions that I was and no snacking during the day. Read More Read Less

After years of vomiting when my stomach was empty I decided to enjoy life and stop this med. Best decision ever. I was so fatigued that I had to push myself through every morning until I felt better in the afternoon. It also altered my sense of taste so that foods I once loved were barely edible. Try everything else first. This med will get your weight and A1c down and it’s an easy fix for your doctor who probably only cares about longevity and not your quality of life.

I began this due to pre diabetes. It took me 3 months to transition to. Stage 4. The main difficulty was constipation. I would encourage those taking this to increase their fiber intake and /or include Metamucil every day until The body adjusts.

I can't believe they give this drug to people! I've been sick since I started it my doctor said that would subside but it hasn't I'm done with it ! I would advise everyone to not take it !

Ok im type 2 Diabetic,I was on Trulicity for maybe close to a year.True i lost some 30 pounds, but my AIC was still high,after 4 DRS. I found out i needed a supplimental med.Then after 9 months of bad sugar but lighter on my feet.I lost my insurance.I personally would never go on this again,the withdrawals are pure hell.Be on it for life or come off it and take family medical leave..Its still terrozing my body 3 months later.BEWARE side effects hell.

The first dose was lost as the instructions were hard to find and unclear. They seem to try to be clever with an odd method of injecting it. I will tell my doctor to get me on something else, never buy this crap again.

I am 6 months in using Trulicity 1.5 dose. I still feel a little sick at my stomach at times. I have however, lost 32lbs. My a1c went from 7.7 to 5.7. Very happy with results, just wish my stomach issues would subside

I started a lower dose .75 two months ago and lowered by A1C from 10.8 to 8.6. since I tolerated the lower dose so well (no side effects at all), increased to 1.5. took first injection three days ago. Hoping I continue to tolerate it- so far no side effects.Sounds like so far I am one of the lucky ones regarding that,

Smelly burps constantly having bowel movements I have lost 58 lbs in 5 months along with a gym membership but I work out only for 1 hour 4 days a week I was on ozempic samples from my doctor and had smelly burps to but can’t get samples anymore due to doctors prescribing all over the nation so I switched to trulicity 2 weeks ago no appetite at all I now have to wear adult pull ups while sleeping or I will have a accident guaranteed so that sucks I’m going to try anti diarrhea meds and gas meds anti nausea medication I got at dollar tree it feels the same as ozempic let’s pray I lose 30-35 more pounds overall yes just side effects suck but I had the same ones with ozempic Read More Read Less

I been taking it’s for weeks I want from 246 down to 224 my A1C want from 11.5 down to 5:7 some days I feel like I am losing weight and some days I don’t … my WellCare pays for my shots they free for me all times … I am still hungry after I take my shots not sure if that normal or anything

I take my injection on sundays.. Week 1 super constipated, sharp pains in my stomach, bad bloating. Burps and farts that smell like vomit. I have never had any issues with constipation or bloating like that ever. I had to take something to make me have a bowel movement by day 6 cuz still hadnt went to the bathroom. Week 2 bad constipation again, smelly vomit burps and farts again, bloating and stomach lains continue, had to take something again to make me have a bowel movement. Week 3 started having small soft bowel movements every day and again smelly vomit burps and farts, atill bloated and stomach pains. Week 4 took the injection on Sunday again. Monday night started having diarrhea still bloated and stomach pains and vomit that was yellow and foamy. Tuesday felt like I was peeing out my butt cuz of the diarrhea being so runny. And this is several times an hour and a lot of it. Tuesday afternoon I realize I hadn't peed since about 12:30am. I was so dehydrated and nothing would stay in me. It ran right through me. Tuesday evening Went to the er to get fluids to hydrate me. 2 bags of fluids still couldn't go pee. Everything i was tested for was negative. I couldn't pee for about a total of 36 hrs. I didnt pee until Wednesday late morning. I get ahold of my doc she thinks it's just a stomach bug and not related to the meds. Knowing my body I knew it was the med. So I decided to try 1 more time. So Sunday rolls around I try it again. Tuesday diarrhea again, smelly vomit burps, bad stomach pains again can't sleep from it and super bloated again. Thursday and still having diarrhea. I'm done with this med. Terrible experience I don't recommend it at all to anybody. It makes food sit in your stomach for a few days so you feel full and I don't do well with food sitting in my stomach like that. But everyone is different if you dont have a problem when food site in your stomach then try it. But good luck. I can't take the major bloating, smelly vomit burps, stomach pains, and terrible diarrhea. I tried it for 5 weeks. Can't do it any longer. Read More Read Less
