I have been prescribed Saxenda and I’m terrified.

I didn’t have any issues getting the prescription filled and it’s sitting in my fridge. Saxenda was the only weight loss drug that was covered under my insurance and I cannot afford Ozempic out of pocket. I’m terrified to take it but simultaneously so frustrated with my stubborn weight gain. I grew up an athlete and was naturally tiny (as is my family). I haven’t stopped gaining weight for the last 6 years. Eating well, exercise, supplements, nothing works. But I am terrified of this medication—this sub is grim and it sounds awful and not very effective? Maybe I am reading what I want to read because I am apprehensive. I am a business owner and have a busy life and cannot afford to be down for too long with side effects. Does anyone have any positive stories or experiences? Do I go forward with it? I’m very scared.
