"checking back in after 12 weeks on qysmia 7.5mg and i&#039;ve lost a total of 14lbs! not bad (5&#039;1- starting at 160lbs, now 146lbs.) this is with a very hectic travel schedule and hit or miss gym workouts. the biggest thing i notice is water intake! i&#039;m rarely hungry but i&#039;ve always got a dry mouth. if i drink plenty of water, i definitely see results on the scale. if i don&#039;t eat enough and especially don&#039;t drink enough, the weight loss slows down and the side effects are worse (for me it&#039;s hands and feet parasthesia, dry mouth, some racing thoughts). overall, this is making a huge difference in my life, in how i feel, my joints, my energy, confidence, blood pressure, etc. for me, it&#039;s well worth the minor discomfort!"
