Action Januvia I've taken Januvia for several months and have developed depression and other side effects. I stopped taking the drug and wonder how long before it is out of my system. Thursday, 4/24/2008 1:13:29 PM 1 Reply
Side Effects This is a most dangerous drug,as far as i am concerned. i have been on it for 3 weeks & 2 days ago,I fell.Then I went limp like a rag doll,had excessive urination,no control over limbs, loss of coordination,confusion. Then my wife read on the internet these were side effects of Januvia,a diabetic medication,new on the market,but approved by the FDA. -Merck should not hold a pharmacutical license,if they are going to produce such dangerius drugs. After not taking Januvia for 2 days,I am back to my old self. Can't anything be done about meds. such as this one??? Saturday, 1/26/2008 6:43:29 PM 1 Reply

Januvia 's Side Effects I took januvia off and on--because of the side effects--for 3 months. Then I suffered renal failure from the drug. My physician never warned me of this and never tested my kidneys though I have had high creatinine levels in the past. I want to know who is responsible for this: the doctor, the drug co. or myself?
