"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 &amp; 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 &amp; christmas.  the first two weeks i experienced some dizziness but it was mild.  i also have experienced &quot;very active&quot; 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!"
