My doctor has prescribed saxenda for me starting off with the 3.0mg dose right off the bat without mentioning the lower does first. Has anyone started off with 3.0mg if so any side effects?

    I assume its for weight loss? From what I have read if for weight lost the lead up to the highest dose is very important. i would think you will be mighty sick without that.

    The saxenda instructions which can be found on line are quite clear about starting on the lowest dose.

    I would say your doctor hasn't made him/herself aware of the product specs.

    Here is thread which may give you some further info
