Tradjenta (linagliptin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "5mg/day for 45 days. Was 260, now 116. Pretty much zero appetite. Finally able to lose weight. Was 220 lb, now 207. Was dizzy, dopey and weak, now more able to concentrate, easier to exercise. Still want to eat pizza but stick to fruit, veg, and meat. Resisting carbs is still hard to do but doable. If there are side effects, they are not as bad as being 260 which was really scary."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "After having Type 2 for 15 years, my levels became higher, and just taking Metformin didn't help anymore. I added Tradjenta, 5mg, and have been taking it for over a year now. The first side effect is sinus issues and a constant runny nose. So now I have to take Flonase for it. I also developed anxiety for the first time, but it is occasional. I have fibromyalgia and noticed that my joint pain is worse, but I'm not sure if it's from this drug. My liver enzymes became elevated recently, and I'm not sure if it's from this drug or if my NAFLD is worsening. It has helped to stabilize my blood sugar levels, and I consider it to be a success for that. Many reviews here are listing negative reviews after taking this drug for a short time. Do they not know that you need to give a drug a few months before the body responds completely?"
