"i started to use belviq in early 2016. after two bottles, i stopped taking the pills because i was not losing weight and thought i was amongst the group of &quot;non-responders.&quot; i decided to consult my doctor once again and expressed how i wanted to try something else. at that point, he told me belviq released an extended release formula. today january 7, 2017, i have been on belviq xr for 14 days. my starting weight was 180lbs., i am down to 166lbs. i lost 14 pounds. i am eating less, and getting full quicker. it is good to note, i was under the weather and my diet became chicken noodle soup for 5 out of the 10 days since beginning belviqxr. i am completely satisfied and i highly recommend it."
