"i started using belviq this may and have seen some nice gradual weight loss. the total weight loss is 27.35 pounds and i am pretty happy with that overall. starting weight was 203 pounds 5&quot;6 and now i can start to exercise a little bit. my side effects were very minor just dry mouth and i was a little tired early on. this medicine has helped all my statistics for the better and that is more important to me and my doctor. good luck as i will lose the the other 30 pond over the next eight months."
