According to NIH.gov, the half-life of Belviq (lorcaserin) is said to be approximately 11 hours.

From what I've been told by medical professionals (I haven't verified this myself yet), it usually takes about 3 to 5 half lives in order for most drugs to be completely excreted from your body (aside from maybe hair follicle samples).

Having said that, I would probably encourage you to double check with your prescribing doctor just to be on the safe side, but it sounds to me like it would probably be an estimated 3 days or so before you'd be in the clear.

I hope this helps!
