Day 2 On Belviq And Don't Feel A Difference...

So I am a type 2 diabetic on the insulin pump. i just had a baby 3 months ago and was actually left thinner than before I was pregnant. Pre-pregnancy I was 219, post-pregnancy I was down to 180. Mostly the breastfeeding helped with that but couldn't after a month, milk supply went away. Saw my dr this week and got the free trial but so far I think I'm actually hungrier and still craving sweets at night. My question is, does this drug take effect immediately or is there a time frame where my cravings will start to get better? My plateu has always been 180, I'm now 186 and would love to get rid of the diabetes for good!!! So how do I know if the medicine is actually working for me or do I have to wait a little longer?

Hello, Briana! How are you? Congratulations on the baby!

Two days really isn't enough time for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body to see if it's going to work for you. Most medications will require a couple weeks to become beneficial. I understand that you're anxious to get this situation under control, but you really do need to give it a bit more time.

Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, back pain and cough.

You'll be able to know if it's reached its full level of efficacy, because that's when any side effects you're experiencing reach their peak and then start to taper off in severity.

However, there is no guarantee that weight loss will eliminate your diabetes, you'll just have to wait and see.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Yea, as a woman how will BELVIQ affect my "time of the month" and a VERY important question is drinking coffee. Is it ok to still have my cup in the morning? Should I take BELVIQ before or after that? I haven't read many reviews on drinking coffee while on it so maybe you have some info on that??
