"i took belviq twice a day for a week.  i am 60+ pounds over weight and have fibromyalgia.  by the 3rd day i was in so much pain i could barely walk.  i could not get out of bed because i was so fatigued.  i am a morning person using getting up @ 5a.  i didn&#039;t step on the scales until the 7th day.  guess what, i gained 2.5 pounds!!!!  i started feeling like i was seeing things such as someone standing beside me and had trouble concentrating at work.  



my insurance paid on this medication so my co-pay was only $45.  thank goodness!  i don&#039;t take many drugs even though they are prescribed.  but with fibromyalgia, i do feel that this medication exacerbated the symptoms x10.  i have been off them for 3 days now and beginning to feel some better"
