"hi all. i am 31, 5&#039;9, 270 lbs. i&#039;ve been on belviq for 8 days. on the 1st day i experienced a slight headache. i&#039;ve had no other side effects since then. after 4 days of belviq, eating very healthy small portions &amp; doing 40 min of intense aerobics, i had not lost a pound! i was discouraged &amp; figured i wasn&#039;t a responder. my appetite wasn&#039;t suppressed either. then i decided to take it on an empty stomach instead of with my meals. it works for me 100% now. once i take it, i don&#039;t want anything to eat for about 3 hours. during that time, i just drink water. in the last 3 days i&#039;ve lost 6 lbs! i&#039;ll update again once my 30 day subscription is up. feeling hopeful again!"
