For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Belviq XR three days ago. I take it at 10 in the morning. The first day I was cold and very tired. I pretty much laid on the couch with a blanket and watched TV. I like a cocktail in the evening and drank 2. I was worried about mixing it with alcohol, but I researched and found nothing that said 'do not drink', so I chanced it. Day two was much better. I wasn't feeling cold anymore and had a little more energy. Again, I had 2 cocktails that evening with no side effects. Today, day three, I weighed myself and I have lost 2 pounds. The appetite suppressant kicked in today, and I just ate my first meal at 4 pm. I am hoping it deters my alcohol cravings, as I know that is a lot of calories that are not helping my weight loss. So far, so good on this medication. I plan to give it at least 30 days. Good luck to everyone trying to lose weight. It is tough!"

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 started this medication after being on phentermine for 4 months. I'm on day 6, and my experience so far is not so good. I've been really tired every day and sleeping later than usual. I haven't even felt like walking at all. I usually go 2 miles in the morning and another 2 in the afternoon. I have been nauseous the entire time, but it's getting worse as I go. As for appetite, I have been hungrier than I was on the phentermine. I'm also up 3 pounds that I think came from inactivity for the past week. For me, I don't think this medication is the right one."

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)."
