"my dr prescribed belivq seven months ago and i took it for less than a week. i didn&#039;t give it a try. during a follow up visit we discussed weight loss/appetite suppressant options again and my dr encouraged me to try start over. after an in depth chat i decided to give it a real try so i started again in 1/2016.  i am extremely pleased with the results! i have experienced zero side effects, which was my concern with not wanting to take the medicine when initially prescribed, a curbed appetite and noticeable weight loss. my health insurance doesn&#039;t cover this particular medicine but its my opinion that it is worth paying for out of pocket.  i have recommended belviq and highly suggest people speak to their dr about belviq as an option."
