"i am rating this drug a 5 at this point because it has neither been a good experience, nor a bad one. today is the 7 day mark for me. my weight has not budged since day one, but it&#039;s only a week in. i&#039;m drinking a lot more water and trying to make wise meal choices. i seem to get full with less food than before i started belviq, but i am hungry most of the time. i am also on the brink of falling asleep all day long. i can&#039;t seem to really wake up, truly, until about 2:00 in the afternoon (&#039;i&#039;m up at 5:30 during the week).  i am hopeful based on what i&#039;ve read online about the drug, but so far for me personally - no suppression of appetite, substantial reduction in energy level and no weight loss :o("
