I have been using Saxenda for a week now. I have experienced constipation, however, with that came the most SEVERE stomach cramps I have ever had when my body has decided after a few days to try to digest food and move it through my system. So severe that I was terrified last night as I was sitting on the toilet praying to pass my stool while I was vomiting from the pain. I have had results already as far a weight loss and I'd like to stay on this product but I am really scared about what is happening to my digestive track. and the pain was so bad I almost called an ambulance after over an hour. VERY bloated and having a lot of gas and burps as well....any suggestions? Do I need to take a laxative and an anti-gas supplement just to be able to stay on this product? Needless to say, I will be calling my doc first thing in the am Monday and not taking my does today.

What is your dose? I went to 2.4 too quickly and had nasty nausea and heartburn. Doc told me to go back to 1.6 and stay there as long as it's working. The constipation could be because of a drastic change in diet? I'd be interested in what your doc had to say1

When I went up to 1.8 on Saxenda my digestion flow went from normal to once every 3 days with bloating. After checking with the doctor i immediatly went back to 1.2 and started taking a PEG 3350 laxative which is helping shorten it to every other day. Worried about daily PEG and seems with the significant bloating my weight loss rate has drastically slowed which is very depressing.0

Where is your pain? Probably far too late to answer to this, but that sounds very similar to the level of pain I had with my gallstones (14 years ago). I thought it had to be on my right side, but it does not. Mine was directly in the center at the bottom of my ribs, severe pain that would have me writhing and vomitting.0
