For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "After my first dose, I started having chills. Could not get warm. Extremely tired and achy. Headache, depressed, just wanted to sleep. No desire to do anything but sleep. Very dizzy. Would not recommend driving. Skipped 2nd dose. On the bright side, I didn't want to eat, too nauseous."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I generally tolerate all medications well and was surprised how awful I felt on Belviq. Within a few days of starting it, I came down with what I thought was a virus: body aches, chills, and nausea. I kept on the Belviq since I had just started it. I spoke about this to my doctor, and he said to give it another week or two. Then the aches, chills, and nausea came again. I also felt that the product did not work. I got an additional headache in the evening and then was ravenous. I stopped the Belviq, and the symptoms went away."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "After 1 dose of Belviq XR, within a couple of hours, I had every single side effect. Cold symptoms, dizziness, inner ear issues, lethargy, severe headache, swollen feet and hands, scratchy throat, brain fog. Had all of these flu symptoms, so I assumed that it was the actual flu and not side effects. Then I noticed the itching that others reported. I noticed swelling in my feet and hands - severe swelling. Hurt to put my shoes on. Body aches, joint pain. My mind is mush. All of these are typical side effects of the medication according to the manufacturer. What is ‘typical’ about feeling sick? I ended up having to go home from work because I was not able to function. Basically, I am out 2 days of work, $145 for medication I am not taking, $100 to see the doctor for a flu test (I don’t have the flu, I have side effects)."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Belviq on December 11 and stopped on December 22. While on the medication, I experienced dry eyes, brain fog, aches, fatigue, and after the first week, I seemed to not be able to control my bladder. The medication does reduce the appetite, however, the side effects of the medication were too harsh for me. $245 dollars, the remainder of the medication will stay in the bottle."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took Belviq XR for 3 weeks. My hands and feet started swelling, my body ached, and I gained 10 lbs while taking this horrible medication."
