I'm on day 2 and have headaches, almost migraines. Does this side effect go away? And how long before I know if I'm a responder to this medication? The possible side effects scare me but I've been dieting and excersizing for 4 months and have lost 11 lbs but can't seem to shake the cravings and desire to keep eating, my PCP RX'd me this and I saved for it ($160 total with $75 off coupon). Just don't wanna keep taking if these headaches won't go away and if it doesn't "work" for me. ## Hello, Ricababy! How are you? Yes, headaches can be a normal side effect and it may take about 4 weeks, before they start to taper off, as your body gets used to the medication, that's about the same time span it will take, before you'll know if it's work...

It took me almost a month and a half to lose 10#''s. Now it seems like I do cereal for breakfast, salad for lunch and whatever we have for dinner. If we eat out I gain 2#'s overnight. Then have to start over again. Sometimes I forget to take them. I am getting discouraged. I am eating less than I used to but not losing much weight. Can't say I am not hungry. Please help me.... ## Hello, Eileen! How are you doing? It would likely help to take some control of what you're eating for dinner and to stop eating out. Do you also get plenty of exercise? That's vital for weight loss, you can't expect the medication to do all the work. You should also try to find a way to remind yourself to take them. A phone app may help, if you have a smart phone. Does anyone else ha...

Small round dark blue pill with 10 on one side & a v on the other side ## Hello, Liz! How are you? The Belviq tablets actually have a fancy stylized A on one side and a 10 on the other and they are a medium shade of blue, not very dark, at all. Its common side effects may include nausea, headache, upper respiratory tract infection and sinusitis. Is there anything else I can help with?

i'm ticked!!!...i have the motiviation got the prescription for Belviq 10 mg x2 day and now the damn pharmacies don't have it!!!!...don't put it out there if we consumers can get there hands on it...my local walmart told me the won't even order it...local cvs said they would order it for me if bring my prescription in which i will do within 24 hrs...but i;m not holding my breath!! ## Hello, Kking! How are you? Sorry you've had trouble finding this medication. However, there are several reasons that a pharmacy may not carry something, the most common reason is just because they've not had a demand for it. If it's not going to sell, before the expiration date, then it's a money loss for them. Wal-Mart likely has to order such a large supply of any given med...

I'm type II diabetic and I have been waiting over 10 months to try this product out to lower my morning blood sugar count so I wouldn't have to start shooting insulin. It dropped my morning reading which has been steady at 165 to 115! I take metformin and glipizide but had to quit actos because of a similar problem as I have encountered with the Belviq. My legs retain and swell up with water. I also developed water blisters varying from 1/4" to the size of a quarter. Became uncomfortable and also itched. I quit taking Belviq and the symptoms went away. After a week of being OK I started taking Belviq again and had the same problems. It took about 2 weeks before I started to lose my appetite in the evening. I may try one more time just to make sure it's the Belviq causing...
