Belviq (lorcaserin) "Tried every type of diet Nutrisystem, met fast, Atkins, and dozens of diet pills. I researched belviq and qsmyia and my doctor and I decided to go with belviq because I don't like what phentermine makes me feel. In exactly 3 months starting belviq, I loss 22 lbs and 5 inches in hips. Exercise was same on belviq with other diet routes. Pre belviq and thus might sound strange my stomach was always growling for food. My brain new I was full but my stomach was deaf. Not only am I losing weight pretty much effortlessly, my insomnia issues and waking up every couple of hours has diminished greatly and another perk is that it's the best antidepressant I have ever had!!!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Southern cooking and big bones is what caused me to gain weight. 5"7 204 lb female. Six months as a the test patient and my doc is sold on my 45.56 pound weight loss. I am happier and feel in control of what I eat and when I eat. I had a headache for two days and now just feel calm, no figeting sleep like a baby. Another 10 to 15 lbs and I will be at my goal."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I started taking Belviq on July 23, 2014. I weighed 248lbs. The first week I lost 2 oz's when I went back to the doctor on July 31st. But since the 31st I have lost 8 lbs. No side effects to speak of. I have already asked my doc for a refill. I want to lose 40 more pounds by December 1st."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have to say I love this pill. The only side effect was a small headache for the first 48hrs. My doctor wanted me to have a surgery, but I thought no I can do this on my own. I have been taking them for 2 1/2 weeks. I weighed in at 280lbs and now I weigh 269lbs. I pray that I can keep going. I have no cravings at all. I wish everyone the best."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Well I must admit I was skeptical when my doctor offered this Belviq. I have tried everything under the sun without much success. I figured the first 2 weeks are free so why not? I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks which for me is great! No side effects like the other medicine I tried. I got my next prescription which I had to pay for. My doctor has to fill out some medical necessity form for my insurance to cover it. Looking forward to losing more weight. Again no side effects! Wow!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Slimmed down from 5"2, 188 pounds. In seven months dropped 41 pounds. The right combination of diet and exercise make this easier then it should be. I still eat good but wise choices seem more appealing versus what I used to do. No bored eating or snacking anymore. No female issues just a little headache."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "A Type 2 Diabetic on Belviq (twice a day) for the last 10 weeks. I used to Live to Eat and now I Eat to Live. Belviq has given me the full control of what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat at every meal. Fasting Weight this morning was 224.4 Lbs down from 250.8 Lbs on 06/13/13 a 26.4 Lbs Weight Loss = 10.5%. Was able to reduce my Humalog 75/25 Insulin intake from 100 to 20 Units a day, an 80% reduction in insulin use. My Blood Glucose was also reduced from 164 to about 114 mg/dL. Simply put, my experience on Belviq the last 10 weeks has been nothing short of AMAZING. I feel blessed that finally there is something that works incredibly well for me where I can manage my type 2 diabetes to a point where no longer need to take any more Daily Insulin Shots."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I've been on my 15 day free sample. I can certainly tell a difference in my appetite. Basically, I'm never hungry. But I still have to fight the urge to eat. I now see that I love to eat, so I find myself eating even though I'm "full." I'm hoping this will change."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "This works great! I tried the 15 day free trail and I lost three pounds. Wow that is great for me, but here is the sad part I went to get it filled and found out that my insurer doesn't cover it and I cant afford it. So best wishes to anyone that try it. I just wish it didn't cost so much."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have carried around an additional 35 lbs on this 5'3" body for six years with no willpower or cravings control to get it off. Just finished my first full week on Belviq and have lost 3.5 lbs. I lose like a snail so this is impressive. I did have a mild headache for the first three evenings which went away with Advil. Mild dry mouth and definitely felt a bit off balance but the good news is that my urgent hunger pangs and carb, dessert and wine cravings are gone! Still enjoy my food but, as others have said, I am perfectly happy to make healthy choices and to eat small portions. I have been able to cut down on my evening wine and have substituted my evening ice cream with herb tea. All of these changes have been painless."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I am on my 3rd refill have lost 57lbs as of this morning! The only side effect I have had is a little dry mouth! This medicine continues to be magical for me! Went to my doctor for a check up and prescription renewal, HE COULD NOT BELIEVE MY PROGRESS! He knew very little about the medicine until I enlightened him. He now is praising it and has prescribed it to 3 new people!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have to give an update here. I have lost about 11% my body weight since starting Belviq 4 months ago. I am starting to exercise as well. The biggest difference? No more snacks and I don't feel hungry anymore. I am excited and so happy at my progress. I have shared my excellent results with friends and family. Where has Belviq been for so long? I could have used this 5 years ago!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Began having thyroid issues years ago which in turn caused a progressive weight gain. I do not have heart problems, diabetes (showing some tendencies) or any severe diseases but have become very obese. My endocrinologist suggested Belviq as a way to help me lose weight and regain some energy & mobility and to prevent any development of full blown diabetes. I began back in November and as of yesterday I have lost 19 pounds - this was through Thanksgiving & Christmas. The first two weeks I experienced some dizziness but it was mild. I also have experienced "very active" dreams nightly but not enough to prevent rest. The weight loss has been wonderful and my clothes are fitting more comfortably. It has been an answer to prayer!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I started taking Belviq 4 days ago. I accomplished absolutely nothing over the weekend. I had a consistent headache and lethargy. I've been taking Advil for the headaches and it helps. On day 3 I started experiencing blurry vision. I'm going to ride this out for a couple of weeks because of how well this controls my tendency to over eat. I am in a very high stress industry and tend to sleep far less than I should. I'm 46, 5' 2" and 184 I have been a yoyo all my life. A year ago I was cross-fitting 6 days a week and 40 lbs lighter. I hurt my shoulder and began over eating once again. So all that to say I am loving how this "helps" me control that tendency. I just hope the side effects described above subside a little."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have been on Belviq for 4 days now and I have not lost any weight yet, but I do notice a huge difference when I sit down to eat. I am so much fuller even after the 3rd bite. My cravings during work hours have gone away, and I am able to go almost all day without pigging out. Mcdonalds is walking distance from my work as well. I am 5'6 and 188 LBS. I will keep yall updated."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Today is my 10th day on belviq. For a few days I felt a dizzy and felt overly cheerful and chatty. When I didn't feel any symptoms anymore I figured it wasn't working. I felt that way because I didn't feel jittery or high like some other diet pills would make a person feel. But in 10 days on belviq I'm down 12 pounds. I eat what I want for dinner (but a much smaller portion) and am careful about eating only healthy foods for breakfast, lunch & snacks. A week into starting the pills that the only effect it's having on me is suppressing my appetite, which I think is great! Ii sometimes have to force myself to eat because don't feel hungry. This pill doesn't keep me up at night. I honestly sleep better now than I did before the pills. I'm happy with my results so far will starting the gym soon. I'm very happy with this medication."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I am 72 and have tried EVERY diet since I was in junior high school. I have been taking Belviq for about 30 days and lost over 10 pounds - 30 pounds to go! This is the only diet pill that doesn't make me edgy and greatly helps with cravings. I used to "graze" all day but now I don't think about food and snacks when I get bored. It is a great medicine!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "1 month 4 days on Belviq and lost 20 lbs, 195 to 175. Amazing because I have travelled and gone to several parties during this time. I'm strictly following the "every other day" diet. Belviq makes it much easier to follow. I plan to continue on Belviq until goal, 135, another 40lb, then discuss maintenance with my doctor. Good luck to all!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I began taking Belviq on October 17, 2014 and have been on it for 3 weeks now. I have currently lost 15.5 lbs in 3 weeks. I have had absolutely no negative symptoms and actually had to start halving the pill and only taking it in the morning, because taking it twice a day made me not able to eat anything at all. I still have 43 lbs to go for my goal weight. I am hoping to lose another 5 lbs in the next week. I am eating less, and what I am eating is healthy foods. I've almost gone on an Atkins diet because I've cut out all sugars and starches without even trying. I also am going to the gym 3 times a week and speed walking on a treadmill. I will begin going more frequently to the gym now, as I have shed a few pounds that has motivated me."
