"i have been taking this medicine for 2 weeks now and have gone from 330 pounds to 320. that&#039;s a huge deal for me because i have polycystic ovarian syndrome and typically cannot lose weight. it suppresses my appetite so much that i have to remind myself to eat. i have had no side effects at all and haven&#039;t increased my exercise. i am very happy with belviq. hopefully it continues to go well."
