When I first started taking Januvia it was like a god send to me. My bs dropped and I started losing weight. Since sugars were not low enough, I started taking janumet. A1C results were consistently 6.3 even tho' I ate anything I liked. Have taken Janumet for almost a year now and weight is 135lbs (height is 5'3"). Nice, since I just couldn't lose weight earlier (also have an under active thyroid and a sweet tooth). I recently experienced my first hot flash in an air conditioned room no less (am 46 yrs old). Started having migraines around my period. Left shoulder hurt when I raised my arm or reached behind me. Digestive system was a mess. Never experienced high blood pressure but had my first high BP reading at my last check up. Stopped Janumet after reading posts here and started feeling better right away. Digestion is normal. Don't know what to do now.

I was taking Avandia since I found out I had Diabetes in 2000 . After all the bad news that was confirmed in 2007, I switched to Metformin then to Metformin and Januvia. The first three months after taking the Januvia, my blood pressure was high and the protein level in my urine increased. I was taking the Enalipril for at least 5 years for my kidneys . I never had high blood pressure. My doctor increased the Enalipril and three months later my blood pressure was still high and protein level more than doubled. I think there is a strong connection because it started right after I stated taking the Januvia. Any one else have this happen?

severe arthritic pain, body is turning to cement, heart out of rhythm, sky high blood pressure, palpations up the back from the kidneys, vivid dreams, night sweats, swelling, cold hands and feet, sore throat, dried bloody sinus, over all restlessness, headache, stomach pains. Been on Januvia for 3 months these showed up after one month and got worse each week. Went off and started feeling better right away, still have the arthritic pain in my shoulder and arm hoping it will leave. Also still having some heart rhythm problems.

Numbness in legs and hands, weakness? the spoon in my hand didn't feel right to eat, agitated, high blood pressure, chest pains, sinus infection,
face very numb, started at the lip within 12 hours it was spreading up my face, my eyelids felt so heavy.........I went to the Dr.. he said I had sinus infection, I asked about the numbness, he said Januvia had nothing to do with it!

I left feeling like I was going crazy why all these symptoms and JANUVIA was SAFE, A MIRACLE DRUG WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS BUT A SORE THROAT!

I called 2 other doctors to verify. My dose was due, I skipped it , 4 hrs. later I started noticing a difference
