Weight Loss
"Took 10mg twice per day for 3 1/2 months - lost 20 pounds.  Within 5 pounds of my goal, reduced to 10mg once daily October 1 and noticed psoriasis returning slightly.  Psoriasis had cleared up completely for the first time in 30 years about 2 weeks after starting Belviq.  Weight is stable at goal, but still taking Belviq for psoriasis control.  Belviq is not an appetite suppressant or stimulant.  It works on the subconscious level.  Before  starting it, I might overeat for irrational reasons like &quot;There&#039;s only a bit of food left over, I&#039;ll just eat it instead of storing it.&quot;  or &quot;I&#039;ve already eaten too much, another bite won&#039;t matter.&quot;  With Belviq, those thoughts just never occur.  I drink 2 quarts of water daily and eat when I&#039;m hungry."
