"i am a 29 year old male. 6&#039;2&quot;. i started the trial does of qsymia on 1/16/13 weighing 315lbs. i moved on to the 7.5/46 dose. today (6/10/13) i weighed in at 221. a month ago i ask the doctor to increase my dose to the 11.25/69mg as i was starting to eat more.  that is when i was not able to sleep and then halfway through taking that dose i noticed i started having numbness in my right foot/calve (which i guess is normal). i already went back to the doctor and ask to be put back on the lower dose even though it will slow my progress. i still have 25lb to go. i hope going back to the lower dose solves this problem. this is not a miracle pill, you have to eat healthy and exercise while taking it. you must make a lifestyle change on it."
