Starting 3rd Week. No Results

Health is my goal and I need a kick start since I am 5'3 and weigh 275. I quit drinking soda, alcohol and binge eating. Still not 1 pound. I'm drinking a lot of water. Not excercizing so much yet. I was just diagnosed with Lupus. I want to shed about 20 pounds before I start excercizing. I haven't had many side effects. Quite honestly I feel like I am taking a sugar pill. Maybe this is not for me. Has anyone had luck with Belviq? Or Saxenda?

Hello, Amanda! How are you?

Every medication on the market works for some people, but not for all, that's just the nature of the human body, because we are all different. I could list many that have posted about having great results from each of the options you've listed, plus a lot that were disappointed in them. It is always a matter of trial and error to find something that works for you, without causing too many unwanted side effects.

The FDA lists the typical side effects asp possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, irritability, nervousness, and insomnia.

Have you experienced any of them? Or is it just like it has no effect on you, whatsoever?

No effect whatsoever. It's like I am taking a sugar pill. Not even feeling nauseous at all.
