"i lost 10 pounds effortlessly during the 2 week free trial. after 6 days, i had lost 6 pounds and at that point, started forcing myself to eat. i&#039;m wanting to achieve a steady, reasonable weight loss. no side effects other than slight dry mouth and sleeping more soundly. an interesting side note, belviq is curbing all of my addictions...sugar, bread, alcohol, gambling. it&#039;s amazing so far. i&#039;m taking belviq 2x daily with 1/2 phentermine tablet."
