"i started qsymia on december 1, 2015 and so far i am down 25 pounds. this medication has curbed my appetite immensely and has completely changed the way i look at food. now i eat to live, i don&#039;t live to eat. i do have dry mouth and some occasional tingling in my feet, but nothing too bothersome. i also get some constipation, but i have gi issues from multiple auto-immune diseases, so that side effect kind of counteracts that in my favor. the only complaint is that my insurance doesn&#039;t cover it, so my current dosage runs about $130 per month; however, that a small price to pay to lose the weight. the weight loss is strictly the change in diet so far, as i really haven&#039;t gotten back to an exercise regimen yet."
