"i have been on qsymia for about 5 weeks and have lost about 15-17 pounds. now my weight has plateaued and i can&#039;t seem to shake anymore weight off. it goes up two pounds, down two pounds, the same as before i began taking the pills. i have added some light exercise into my regimen and have gone down a clothing size. i&#039;m happy with that. i think my body is adjusting/adapting to the medication.  i&#039;m thinking of going off the qsymia for a week or so to get it completely out of my system and start all over again. my cravings for sweets/candies have all but gone away. every once in a while i&#039;ll indulge, but not nearly like i used to. i don&#039;t think about food until i&#039;m actually hungry."
