"i&#039;ve been taking qsymia for 6 days now, and i feel the random tingling feeling and numbness, with that being said, i&#039;ve lost about 4 pounds so far without changes to my lifestyle. foods do taste different. sodas taste like metal, rice and bread taste like cardboard, and anything other than a salad, lean grilled, broiled or steamed meats or fruits taste rather nasty. 
one thing is for sure, avoid any drink with aspartame in it, it will give you a monster headache and really make the tingling numb feeling really noticeable. i thought i was going to die...my head and my eyes hurt so bad. dropped the sparkling flavored water, and diet sodas, and feeling awesome. will update in a few weeks with progress!"
