"i have been on belviq for 2 months now. so far, i&#039;ve lost 17 pounds. i started at 240. i am in my late 30&#039;s and have struggled with being overweight since i started working in the corporate world. i&#039;ve noticed that i don&#039;t have the late night cravings that i used to have and i feel full after dinner up until the next morning. i used have the need to snack before bed, but that has gone away since i&#039;ve been on belivq. no side effects expect a dry mouth the first week or so. i also used to drink a six pack of beer on the weekends but i&#039;ve noticed that i don&#039;t feel the urge to binge drink anymore.... and i feel great!"
