I Am Exhausted And Dizzy

Today marks one week of being on Belviq. Let me first say I have hypothyroidism which makes me lathargic already. Now I have added Belviq to the mix and functioning normally is a chore. I have also started having nightmares that keep me up throughout the night. I am dizzy and lightheaded all the time. I need to loose weight but if I cannot function I'm not sure how that will happen. I am on the fence about if I should stop taking this medicine.

It is normal to experience side effects for the first 4 to 6 weeks of taking a new medication, but around 3 to 4 weeks in, they should start to taper off in severity, and eventually go away entirely, once your body is used to the medication.

Other side effects of Belviq may include nausea, anxiety, hypertension, insomnia, and chills.

Are you on any other medications?
