Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have taken Belviq for 7 weeks now, my cravings, midnight snacking are gone. I am eating fruits and vegetables regularly. I actually prefer eating those foods rather than carbs and sugars. I have lost 26.4 pounds so far, and it has been so easy. Belviq is willpower in a bottle. I had a slight headache for the first 3 days, but no side effects since that time (except lots of pounds lost). UPDATE: 7 months in and I have lost 55.6 pounds, 23% of my weight, and my doctors confirmed that I am no longer pre-diabetic. My total cholesterol is now under 100. My sleep apnea has drastically improved, stomach is flat, and I had improved results on a recent stress test. My doctor called it reverse metabolic syndrome. Thank you, Belviq, for getting my health back."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I am an active practice registered nurse who has packed on the pounds slowly, year after year. I am in my 4th month of taking Belviq. I am down 32 pounds. It comes off slowly, mainly by feeling full faster. I am able to put my fork down now, do not feel out of control eating. It has greatly diminished night snacking. When I initially took it, had some mild headache and tiredness. Side effects were gone after 2 weeks. I am much more active, eating a much healthier diet. I am not obsessing over food or the lack of it. You do have to change habits, diet, and exercise, but Belviq makes it possible to do it."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Aloha! I am a 41-year-old female. I started taking Belviq less than a week ago, and I am down 4 pounds already! It would have taken me a month to lose this before. Very minimal side effects that passed after day 2. If you are considering this, give it a try! It is a miracle!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Best weight loss medicine ever! 29 pounds in 4 months and 6 pounds more to reach my goal weight. No food cravings, and I have cut sugar out of my diet, which for me is the key. 5'4 woman currently at 145 pounds. Blue Cross Blue Shield covered this medication for me except for the $5.00 co-pay. Best wishes to everyone!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have been on Belviq for 21 days and have lost 20 lbs. I was fortunate not to experience any side effects. My constant urge to eat was subsided almost immediately. I find that I have to make myself eat most days. I have lost 14 inches total so far and can't wait to see how much more I lose. This medicine has been a blessing for me. Go to the doctor this week for my first checkup and am actually looking forward to getting on the scale!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have a sleep eating problem and hypothyroidism, so I struggle and have gone from 130 pounds to 172 pounds over the past 7 years, but I am 5'2''. That's a problem, plus I recently turned the big 50. I can eat 20 salads or 20 cheeseburgers, and the scale doesn't move. I have only taken the pill for 7 days and have lost 3 pounds, which is huge. I have zero side effects, no cravings, and no night grazing. I think I finally found the help I needed in order to stay motivated to a healthy diet and lifestyle. Couldn't be more pleasantly surprised and satisfied that this will change my life."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Started taking Belviq 3 and a half months ago. I've lost 34 pounds as of today. My obesity is due to emotional eating, eating when not hungry, consuming too many calories, greasy junk food, and eating late at night and sometimes in the middle of the night, pigging out to help me sleep. Belviq is currently my holy grail, and I hope to be able to take it the rest of my life. It helps me sleep and definitely curbs my overeating. I use Belviq in combination with a FitBit. I count calories, watch what I eat, and almost completely cut out carbs (except for up to 6 saltine crackers). I have arthritis, I'm 67, and somewhat limited in exercising. If I could lose a lot of weight, it would reduce the pressure on my hips and knees. Perhaps then I could walk more."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Nothing for 10 days or so, then no appetite at all. Started exercising, feeling better about myself (it's a mood enhancer), and lost 20 pounds in 35 days. Side effects are dry mouth, slight forgetfulness, and possibly some tinnitus, but that's it. Really working well for me! Get the free trial from Belviq then their discount card after that. I love the minor side effects, Phentermine and Topamax were just awful, Topamax the worst. Phentermine is great if you want to feel like a character in 'Breaking Bad.'"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "26-year-old mom of four. Started Belviq a week and a half ago, lost 13 lbs. Only side effect: headache first couple of days and dry mouth, but it subsides. So glad I tried the 14-day trial. I will be purchasing after the trial."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "40-year-old male. I have been on Belviq for 8 weeks. I've lost 20 pounds to date. I had a starting BMI of 32. It has totally removed my nighttime cravings for food. My biggest problem is late-night eating. I usually eat pretty healthy during the day and ruin it at night because I am a night owl and would get hungry late night and would resort to snacks or even worse, fast food. Belviq makes me not think of food all the time and I've noticed I'm not eating as much during mealtime. I try to work out 3 times a week but with my work schedule, it can be hard and some weeks I don't work out at all. I am happier and can't wait to lose more. No noticeable side effects here."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "This medicine really works for me. I lost 15 pounds in one month. Less cravings for sugar or snacks. Eating two protein shakes for breakfast and lunch (Medifast and/or Isagenix) and a lean meat and green salad for dinner. Low carbohydrates and fat diet in general, plenty of veggies and lean meat or eggs. 30 mins of aerobic exercise a day. Like someone said, it's willpower in a pill. The only side effect was a headache the first two days and Advil took care of it. I'm naturally a relaxed and happy person, but I do feel a general well-being and sleep better. I also felt a little more distracted than usual for a couple days at the beginning but after that nothing else. If you want to lose weight and feel better, try Belviq. Good luck to all!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "It has been three weeks and I am down 8 pounds. I wish I knew about Belviq sooner. I feel better overall and my attitude towards food has changed. I eat much smaller portions because I feel full very quickly. I can't wait to continue this journey!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I started taking it after my weight got up to 303 pounds. I'm 6'4' and have put on about 50 pounds over the past 10 years. I have taken it for two months and am down to 287 pounds. It took about two weeks to notice a difference in appetite, but once it kicked in, it really kicked in. The only side effect is occasionally feeling nauseous, but it doesn't bother me."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I started taking Belviq in September of '14, so I am about three weeks shy of a full year. For the first two weeks, I lost perhaps one pound and was getting discouraged - so I simply tried harder. By the way, I was three hundred pounds on the dot when I started. I now weigh 220. Yep, 80 pounds in less than a year, and I have reclaimed my life, my energy, my looks, my sex drive, and my optimistic outlook on life. DO NOT expect it to work on the front end, by which I mean it is NOT an appetite suppressant. But - and this is a huge but - if you cut your caloric intake in half, you will not experience hunger cravings afterward. That is the key. EAT LESS! Belviq will take care of the rest. By the way, I lost this weight without exercise."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I've been on Belviq for one month. I've lost 29.5 lbs, and I'm thrilled. I've also stuck to a 1500 calorie diet. The biggest thing it did for me was take away the thought of cravings. I would pay any amount of money to have these kind of results."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I've only taken Belviq for 3 days but have had wonderful results already! I've lost 5 lbs. My doctor started me out slowly taking it only in the mornings for the first 3 days just to ensure my body could tolerate it. Tonight I will also begin to take it in the evenings. I have had a bit of a dry mouth but I don't mind, I just need to drink more water. I did stop drinking soda, and cut back on some of my calories. Tomorrow I start at my gym, so it will be interesting to see if I lose more weight or gain muscle. I don't usually tolerate meds very well, so I'm really happy that this seems to be working for me so far. I'll post another update as I get further along. My insurance doesn't cover weight loss medicine, but the discount card helps."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have been on Belviq for just shy of 10 months. I started at about 288 lbs. I got an Eat Smart scale the second week on Belviq. I was a 54-year-old male. Today, I weighed in at 226 lbs. That is 62 lbs. lost in almost 10 months. The week I started, my A1c was 6.6. My PCP has been having blood work done every 3 months. My A1c is now 5.3 and I am no longer taking Metformin or Simvastatin. Side effects are very minor, compared to how it has changed my life. And the second best thing is, I sleep much sounder. If I do wake up at night, I fall back asleep right away. When I make it to my goal weight, I will probably talk to my doctor about continuing Belviq at a 1/2 dosage."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I started Belviq on the 17th of June. Within 2 days, I felt a huge reduction in my appetite. I started losing weight almost immediately, lost 8 lbs in the following 2 weeks. I was still drinking a lot of wine, and noticed my weight loss slow dramatically. I was still losing, but only 2 lbs were lost the next two weeks. I cut out wine completely on July 20th, started losing rapidly again. As of today, I am down a total of 25 lbs. I started at 180 lbs. (eek!) And today I am at 155. My blood pressure is way down, and I don't crave wine at all. The only side effect is bladder pressure, very uncomfortable, feels like a urinary tract infection coming on, but isn't. I felt it when I first started and any time I take a few days break and restart. It goes away in a day."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Started 15-day free trial on July 1, 2014, weighing 263. Got first full-month Belviq prescription on July 15 and had the first post-medicine weigh-in on August 14, weighing 247. So I lost about 2.5 pounds a week for a total of 16 pounds. Enjoying feeling like a 'normal' person who can have ice cream in the freezer and not think about eating it constantly. Since I've lost 5% of my initial weight, I'm a 'responder' and should qualify to continue taking Belviq beyond 90 days."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I am surprised at my 24lb loss in the last 3 months and 2 weeks, to be honest. I thought Belviq was overpriced and just another miracle pill. With a lower-carb diet and less food intake alone (no 'real' exercise), I am dropping weight very easily. This stuff is great!"

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I have been on Belviq for over a year and have been able to finally control what I eat. I was 206 pounds and am now down to 164 pounds. I am sorry I did not try it sooner as my overall health has gotten better - from cholesterol, blood sugar, and sleep. My doctor says I will see my aching knees feel better after losing another 15 pounds. He says most of his patients are good dieters but bad exercisers for the most part. Just happy to get better health."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "After 5 full days on Belviq, I can assure you this is going to be a wildly successful product. It has made sticking to a diet of reduced portions and healthier foods EASY. I can now eat half of what I used to and feel completely full. It has eliminated my compulsion to snack when watching TV or a movie, and the results are already noticeable. I started Belviq weighing 227 pounds, and as of this morning, I was at 222 pounds (after only 5 days). I'm not starving myself, just eating the amount I should have been eating for the last decade. The only side effects I have noticed thus far are being able to fall asleep faster and having a more upbeat and positive attitude in general."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "I was fat until about nine months ago. Now I am chunky but weigh sixty-three pounds less. Started at 229 pounds, now 166 pounds. Just started the stationary bike and look forward to getting to 148 lbs, and that is livable. My blood work and other issues are starting to make good progress. I would like to recommend this to the yo-yo dieters. No side effects except a little dry mouth."

Belviq (lorcaserin) "Overweight Italian, 225 lbs, 59 yrs old, high blood pressure, taking Metformin and having a tough time walking more than 100 yards. I have been hounded by my wife and finally gave in to trying this new diet medicine. Well, nine months later and 66 pounds worth of meatballs and lasagna gone. I don't remember anything but losing the weight and have decision-making willpower that I never knew existed. This works and is not a gimmick and has allowed me to reduce my medicines. It seems far too easy and is the best secret in losing weight. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little crutch to avoid cravings and take over your own life."
