For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Started Belviq 5 days ago. I am incredibly drained and exhausted. Have had headaches, issues with balance, a feeling of not connecting to my own thoughts or words, eating more, gained 3 pounds... And today the exhaustion was so bad I fell asleep behind the wheel of my car twice on a short trip to my grandparents' house. I left a message with my doctor's office and will follow up tomorrow. Take the side effects seriously. I have never had issues like this with a medication."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This medication did absolutely nothing for me. I think it actually made me more hungry and gain weight. It also made me feel extremely tired all the time. Because this medication was not covered by insurance, with the Belviq discount card I still paid about $100 per month for it. I took this medication for three months. What a waste of my hard-earned money."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have only been on it for 4 days - I take two pills a day. I have not noticed anything other than being extremely tired and my back hurts. I'll keep it up for a week or so, but if nothing changes, I will go off of it. I'm so disappointed."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am giving this a 5 for now since it's only been day 2. I reached out to my doctor for help with weight loss because I quit taking my Adderall in March of 2015. I was a size 4-6. Maybe 135 lbs. I'm 33 years old and do not have a family history of obesity, but once I got off the Adderall, that's when my weight got out of control! I went to a size 16 and now weigh 223 lbs! So yesterday, the Belviq didn't work much. I was so tired. All I did was stay in bed. I took my first dose around 11 a.m. I took my second dose at 7 p.m. I ate 2 Go-Gurts, 2 hotdogs, and a plate of spaghetti. Then I fell asleep because it made me so sleepy. I didn't wake up until 1:18 p.m. today! Today was better. Less appetite, still tired, but less appetite!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I tried Belviq for obesity last year in 2017, and it did give me a fast heart rate and made me super tired. It did not curb my appetite in the slightest. It was very expensive $$$ and just a waste of my money and my time. I did print out coupons that would say 80% off, but the pharmacy would not honor them. I even had a free Belviq coupon that they would not honor. Totally not satisfied at all. :("

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have taken Belviq for two weeks, only lost 2 pounds. Belviq has no effect on me. I cut grass to help make extra money on the side. That's the only time I see any weight lost. I was doing that before Belviq. This medicine has slowed me down, makes me tired. I exercise less with Belviq. I can't believe they want 200 dollars for these pills, not worth it. All diets, if you exercise and eat right, work without the pills. Belviq doesn't even curb my appetite. Very disappointing. The chest and body pain are scary."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I got Belviq free trial last year, and I'm glad I did. The cost of them is very expensive. My experience with these pills was in minutes. I got bad headaches and felt very tired, yawning a whole lot. I wouldn't recommend these pills to anyone."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I can't really rate this drug yet, only because it's my 2nd day. But I will say I was scared to even take this after all the side effects I read on this page. Day one, I had no side effects, maybe tired, but I also have a teething 9-month-old, so that could be it too. I will post more at a later time."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been on Belviq for 2 days now, seems to curb my appetite, but it does make me tired right now. Hopefully not for long, so I can exercise. Goal is to lose 50-60 lbs and lower my bad cholesterol."
