Why am I not feeling any side effects on Saxenda?

That's fine and even good — not everyone gets side effects, and it doesn't mean the medicine isn't working. Judge by appetite and the scale over weeks, not by side effects.

Why am I experiencing hair fall on Rybelsus?

Why am I nauseous in the mornings on Saxenda?

Why am I more constipated than ever on Wegovy?

Why am I feeling full after two bites on Trulicity?

Why am I always tired on Rybelsus?

Why am I losing weight too fast on Wegovy?

Why am I not losing weight on Trulicity?

If the scale isn't moving, the usual reasons are: you haven't reached an effective dose yet, protein and movement are too low, or you've hit a natural plateau. It's rarely that the medicine 'stopped working'.
