How To Taper Off Belviq

I was on phentermine in mornings and belvique in the evenings! With exercise and low carb earing,I have lost 45 pounds which makes me happy! I still want to lose 15 more but I stopped taking phentermine 3 days ago because my heart was palpitating and I had to go see a cardiologist! So now I am only on belvique but I wake up with a headache every night, my blood pressure is extremely low like 80/60 when I wake up, I have blurry vision and feel dizzy in the mornings! If I stop will I gain my weight back?

There is no way to give you a definitive answer, but yes, it is possible that you will gain it back. Many medications only treat an issue, but don't provide a permanent solution.

What information did the cardiologist provide? Did they give you any diagnosis? Are you on any other medications?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Belviq as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and anorexia.

He said my heart is fine but wants me to do a stress test, and another test and get my cholesterol tested!

I am exercising and eating low carb/Keto so I am just going to track my calories and carbs and try real hard not to gain! But I still need to know how to taper off! I didn’t take it last night and woke up with extreme leg cramps
