"prescribed belviq about three months ago- april 2016, 10 mg twice a day. went to the doctor two months later and had lost 15 lbs from 266 to 251. again, i went two weeks later and i was down to 246.  had some side effects such as fatigued, dry mouth but just drink more water.  does a great job of curbing my appetite-making me feel full on less food. also seemed to change my taste buds. doesn&#039;t at all agree with alcohol. this is the first drug that has helped me lose weight. this is important since i am on estrogen blockers due to breast cancer and had a hard time losing weight.  will continue on this medicine."
