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 to 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 dr for a flu test (I don’t have the flu, I have side effects)."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Belviq 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 effect of the medication were too harsh for me. $ 245 dollars the remained of the medication will stay in the bottle."
