obesity
"I have carried around an additional 35 lbs on this 5'3" body for six years with no willpower or cravings control to get it off.  Just finished my first full week on Belviq and have lost 3.5 lbs.  I lose like a snail so this is impressive. I did have a mild headache for the first three evenings which went away with Advil.  Mild dry mouth and definitely felt a bit off balance but the good news is that my urgent hunger pangs and carb, dessert and wine cravings are gone!  Still enjoy my food but, as others have said, I am perfectly happy to make healthy choices and to eat small portions.  I have been able to cut down on my evening wine and have substituted my evening ice cream with herb tea.  All of these changes have been painless."
