Weight Loss
"I was actually prescribed Belviq for depression, but since it is primarily a weight loss drug, my Dr and I agreed it would be a great thing if I also lost weight, since I had gained 70 lbs during my protracted divorce. I felt the anti-depressant effects right away. The feelings of hopelessness and lack of desire to live eased away within days. I cared less about the weight loss aspect, but noticed that I was making better choices about food without even thinking about it. In fact, I would say my desire to eat emotionally flat-lined. And, I felt full eating much less. Depression lifted, I began to pay attention to weight loss and lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I am sure as I continue to focus on losing weight with it, I will be very successful."
