"i see a lot of negative experiences on here. fortunately, i won&#039;t add to those. 

this is day 8 after beginning belviq, and i have lost 8 pounds!!!i started the rx as prescribed: twice a day, 12 hours apart. i have to make myself eat. when i do, i only eat a very small portion. my meals are only about 200 calories each, with 3 tiny snacks. i cut back on all sugar (even splenda).  **cravings are non existent&quot; 

i am 57, i have copd, and 2 herniated discs, so it&#039;s hard to exercise normally. but i am increasing activities, and doing back exercises, and walking when i am able. will add weights when my back feels more stable. 

i have had absolutely no side effects! no headaches, no muscle aches, no drowsiness, nothing. 

i couldn&#039;t be happier."
