"it has been 14 days on belviq and i am planning to stop. took 3 days to notice a change. for the past 12 days i didnt get any of the side effects it talks about except been cold. i have lost 10lbs so far from the 70 i need. now i realize that it requires determination to want to loose weight because if i wanted, i could have eaten fast food or italian any time without anything to stop me but only myself. i was focus enough to say no and that is the key. the drug help slightly but the person must put of their part to make it successful. it is now 2 days with migranes and cant take my other medication because it has dangerous effects with belviq. i would say it gave me the encouragement to start but the rest is up to me."
