"so i&#039;ve tried phentermine, belviq, and topiramate for weight loss. i&#039;m a 5&#039;7 250lb male in my 20s. out of the 3, belviq was in the middle. it was good for my mood because i suffer from anxiety. but it only reduced my appetite so much. it kind of helped, but it wasn&#039;t as great as people say. i wouldn&#039;t give it an 8/10 like many on here. i would say anywhere between 5-7/10. it&#039;s also very expensive."
