"i started taking qsymia in november 2012. i tipped the beams at 264lbs, by july i was down to 199lbs and had a heart attack!  don&#039;t be alarmed, the doctors all said it was nothing to do with the medication. it was a blockage due to all the crap i had ingested over the years. i&#039;m still currently taking qsymia still at 200 lbs. i&#039;m not exercising like i was and i can eat anything i like in moderation. i feel great, dropped 4 pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes. with no side effects after the first couple weeks. so does it work??? yes... but it&#039;s expensive!"
