"i started qsymia on 1/21/16 and it was prescribed by my endocrinologist. i&#039;m still taking the starter dose of 3.75/23. i&#039;ve lost 10 lbs in 6 days! i have not been hungry and have had very few cravings. i&#039;ve easily maintained a 1200 calorie diet for the past six days and have been exercising by walking (12000 average steps/day). i have one more week left of this dose and then i&#039;ll start the 7.5 mg recommended dose. i&#039;m 5&#039;11, starting weight was 235, current weight 226, and goal weight is 175. i&#039;m so glad that i&#039;ve started this medication."
