"i started belviq 3.5 weeks ago. i tried sorting through reviews just like you are, to see if the $85 a mo. after coupon was worth it. i found it difficult because too many reviewers left out their gender, weight &amp; height so i just decided to just try it.  with that being said, i&#039;m a 5&#039;1 female with a desk job weighing 163 to start. i now weight 157. this medication suppresses my appetite slightly, but it suppresses my cravings a lot &amp; i don&#039;t give like before. the first day i thought i wasted $85 because the headache was awful. it subsided the next day. i do feel sleepier at night, so i haven&#039;t worked out at all, i&#039;m going to purchase another month &amp; add  exercise. i&#039;m also on a 1200 cal diet that i track on my fitness pal"
