For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Well, I've been using Belviq XR for a week now. The first two days, I experienced dizziness and headaches, but by day four, I didn't have those symptoms. It definitely has suppressed my appetite, I find myself forcing myself to eat. Fatigue is a side effect, but I think the fatigue is attributed to the lack of caloric intake, especially since I exercise regularly. So, it's important to eat even if you have no appetite. So, in a week, I've lost five pounds so far, so good. :)"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I'm 5'4" and 165 lbs, on thyroid meds, and have not been able to lose the weight from my last child. I took Qsymia a year ago and lost 15 lbs in 3 months, but the side effects were insomnia, which I've never had in my life, and dry mouth. Cost per month was nearly $300.00, not covered by insurance. I gained half the weight back and decided to try a different medication. Now on Belviq XR, my Dr. gave me a discount card, and it only costs $98.00 as opposed to $300.00. I have been taking it for 4 days and have lost 3 lbs! It has not curbed my eating, although I do feel that my appetite is suppressed. I have not had issues sleeping, but my muscles do feel sore, and I am a bit sluggish at times during the day. I have felt like I'm about to get a UTI for a few days now. I also had a few times standing up where I felt dizzy. Those are all the side effects I've experienced."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Belviq XR 20 mg morning— Day 1 experience dizziness, fatigue, slight headache, and racing heart 96 resting / up to 108 with movement. Day 2 my symptoms were dizziness and slight headache. Seven days later—I continue to take the medication and the only symptom I have is dizziness. I contacted my dr because this medicine has not suppressed my appetite at all—so he is planning to switch me to something else."

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've taken Belviq XR for the last 5 nights. I had hoped any dizziness or other reactions would happen while I slept. I am noticing extreme fatigue, aching in my neck, lower back, and knees, and all over wobbliness. I haven't lost any weight yet, as I am too tired to exercise. The cost for 30 days was $315 with a coupon. Quite expensive to feel like rubbish and no weight loss."

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)."
