"over the years i have gained a good amount of weight and it seems no matter what diet i tried after 2 weeks i found myself cheating and felt like a failure.  i was always in good physical shape but in my 30&#039;s that changed.  my dr suggested qsymia to me and put me on it in june.  since then i have successfully lost 29 pounds.  i exercise, i eat what i want but the portions are controlled and i only treat myself to a sliver of cake or sweets once a week.  i exercise 3 times a week.  i have had no side effects except once in awhile a dry mouth.  i give qsymia a thumbs up-- it has given me back my confidence and has allowed me to learn to control my eating."
