"qsymia works for me. it is true. it makes you thirsty and makes diet soft drinks taste like brake fluid. totally kills my craving for sweets. the good news, i was closing in on the 300lbs mark...less than two months later, almost at 260 lbs. i am a weight watcher so i have an accurate record of my weight loss. also, i go to my local ymca and workout six days a week."
