"i started taking belviq 6 months ago &amp; i have lost 32 lbs.  it is awesome and i haven&#039;t had any side effects.  i got off of it a few months ago because i was going to see how i would do without it.  big mistake!!  i have gained 10 lbs back really quick.  belviq isn&#039;t a quick fix, it does take time.  i take one pill in the morning around 8 and usually the other around 4.  i do get cravings before bed so i think i will change up and take my last pill around 6 or 7 and see if that helps.  i think my doctor will continue giving it to me until i reach my goal weight.  lots of luck to you all that have tried it.  my only advice is give it a try, be patient &amp; don&#039;t give up."
