Januvia and januvia

I've had pancreatitis 4 times since starting Januvia, coughing up blood, nausea, vomiting, aches and pains, can't sleep at night, and a host of other symptoms. 4 days without and I'm beginning to feel normal again.

Has anyone experienced excessive weight gain using Januvia? About 13 months ago I started taking J. and I've not lost any weight since that time. I had Lap-band surgery 19 months ago lost 58 lbs the first 7 months, started the Januvia, had what I thought was Lap-band problems, gained a few pounds and the few pounds are now a plus 40. I've spoken to a pharmacist and he says there cannot be any connection to Januvia, however I've begun to question Januvia as the advertisements on TV state that Januvia has not been tested with insulin and I'm taking Lantus at night and Januvia in AM. Januvia can be used with insulin at the description of the Doctor???? I'm very concerned about myself and Januvia. Any comments 2bears

Have been on Januvia for 3 weeks, Very bad left shoulder started about one week into treatment. I initially thought that I had slept on my shoulder "wrong". Left leg pain started last week. Lower leg feels tolerable sitting however when I stand & walk, get shin splint type pains. Shoulder is improving & leg pain intensifying. I called doctor's office this morning and relayed symptoms to the nurse. I told him that I was discontinuing Januvia until I heard otherwise. He took my number but physician did not return call today. I find it odd that there is no mention of this type complication in the patient information handouts. I have taken Motrin, Aleve & Extra Strength Tylenol without relief.

I have been taking Januvia for about 8 weeks. I have had severe bronchitis, and now can't get rid of chest congestion for two weeks. Seems like fluid build-up in my lungs. Before I started taking Januvia, I was so proud of the fact that I had not been ill in years. Now, can't seem to get well. I stopped taking it this morning and hope to regain my health.
I plan to see my doctor next week.

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

I hve been on Januvia for 5 weeks, after not being able to tolerate Metformin. I have noticed a great thinning of my hair. Other than that I haven't felt better. Is hair loss a side effect?

I am wondering if the chronic cough I have is a side effect of Januvia. Initially I thought it was the ace inhibitor I was taking, but since I went off it a few months ago, the coughing has not subsided.

I've been taking Januvia for 8 weeks, and have experienced muscle cramps with shock-like pain running down my leg into my heel; upper and lower GI spasms; night sweats with sleep interruption; and I gained 5 pounds in the first 4 weeks which I can't attribute to anything else. I've also taking metformin and glyset for several years, and although I've experienced the night sweats, they've greatly increased in intensity.
