"i&#039;ve been taking belvique 2-1/2 months. down 30 pounds and it keeps on coming off. i&#039;m a believer. i took my time researching, and got full a full physical, cardio, and blood work first. the first 1-2 weeks didn&#039;t show any real results, but also, no side effects either. after 2 weeks, the weight started dropping and hasn&#039;t stopped. still no side effects. my advice: if you are significantly overweight, that weight may be more dangerous to you that the possible side effects of this. while taking, continue periodic check-ins with your doctor and get blood work (at least quarterly). take multi-vitamins. you still need to choose the right foods, but this will help you feel full with reduced portion sizes. also, use one of the fitness apps!"
