"i started qsymia dec 31 2015 with my two week trial then went to 7.5 dose for 2 months. last week i stopped taking it.   i weighed in at 186 in december and as of right now, march 2015 i&#039;m at 161. i feel it&#039;s extremely important that you learn how to eat the right way while taking this, because when you stop taking it, you will gain the weight back if you don&#039;t continue to watch what u eat. i have about 13 lbs to go to be at my goal which i probably could have stayed on qsymia for another month but the tiredness i got while taking this was a big deciding factor for me.   the only side effects i got were the dry mouth, occasional tingling in my fingers and the tiredness, no energy feeling. diet pop was awful tasting too,but did curb my appetite."
