Byetta users, could you please descibe any gastro-intestinal side effects that you experieced - nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea - while on Byetta.

I need a new IR med. I take met but I am unable to take the full dose because it makes me so unspeakably ill. I take a third of what's been prescribed for me.

Please give your accounts of the good, bad, and ugly concerning your experience with this drug's side effects (again, specifically GI tract).

I'm talking to my doc on Tuesday, so I'd greatly appreciate swift responses.

TIA!

Hi! I started Byetta last Monday & so far haven't experienced any side effects at all, except for feeling very full after meals. I am eating small meals & have to remind myself to eat snacks before workouts, etc b/c if I didn't than I def wouldn't eat enough. The full feeling hasn't hampered me in any way & only one time has it been bad enough that I took a little Pepto. I do burp more than I normally do, but that's to be expected, as is the feeling of fullness. HTH, GL!!!

Thanks so much Jessie! I really appreciate you for taking the time to answer me. I might welcome the fullness-after-meals feeling for awhile... it seems that every time I eat, I feel comfortable for about an hour then I get REALLY hungry, and I try not to eat when that happens, but I sometimes, well, most times, give in.

I take my met at night because I (usually) sleep through the sickness... but that is only 500 mg. I do not feel that I am handling my IR effectively and everyone has been raving about Byetta....

Thanks again.
