Well, after about a week, the side effects went away. I have lost about 8 lbs in three weeks. It is hard to tell exactly but I am sure it is at least 6. Belviq says you should discontinue if you don't lose 5% of your body weight in 13 weeks. 5% is about 10lbs so I am on track. I do find it hard on my brain. I am unable to really remember things too well. But so far I haven't forgotten anything.

I am pretty sure it has an effect on my emotions as well. I am more "oblivious". Things don't bother me as much. Happy...about that.

I think this combo could work as long as I don't suppress my metabolism. Accordingly when I stop losing weight for more than 4 weeks.. I will stop this medication and dieting.
