"i&#039;ve been taking belviq for two years. slowly i lost 30 pounds. i have continued to take this medication and the most important detail is that i have kept my weight loss off as belviq works perfectly for weight maintenance too.  (i can&#039;t tell you how many times, prior to belviq, that i&#039;d gained and lost this weight.) very much helps  me with cravings and over eating."
