"just started taking belviq 10mg twice daily.  my starting weight was 350.  three days later i am already down to 345.  i am a 5&#039;5 40 year old woman.  belviq worked for me immediately to suppress my appetite.  i am counting my exact calories daily and sticking to a 1200-1300 calorie diet.  i have not felt deprived and belviq is keeping my hunger at bay.  i have not experienced any noticeable side effects.  i go back to my doctor in a month for a weigh-in.  i will re-post my results.  so far so good.  so far i would definitely recommend this drug."
