For Type 2 Diabetes "I started taking Tradjenta for 2 months. Recently, as this time passed, I have been waking up short of breath with lots of muscle pain, back pain, stomach pain, headaches, and nosebleeds. I have been freaking miserable. I literally took my last dose before I wrote this. I am glad I did research. I knew it was something different I was taking. Glad I read these reviews, done with this rubbish."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I was taking Januvia, but my insurance will no longer cover it, so I was then switched to Tradjenta. I take 5 mg Tradjenta with Metformin daily. My blood sugar is not as low or stable as it was with the Januvia, and I am having very bad muscle and joint pain, severe headaches, back pain, and weakness. I never had these symptoms previously, so it must be the Tradjenta. I never associated the problems with this medication until I read an article on it. I will be contacting my doctor regarding this medication."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Been on this medication for 2 months, but had to stop it as had severe muscle pain and abdominal pains. Pain on the right side under rib area and back pain. Horrendous. Same side effects as the Trulicity injection."

"I suffer from arthritis and have had side effects with Tradjenta. I stopped taking it but was told by the doctor to restart it. I got really bad tendinitis in my arms, legs, hands, and back. It is so bad that I can hardly stand the pain even with now taking meloxicam and diclofenac gel. HELP!"
