"i started on qsymia 4/26/2015, at my yearly checkup. i am a 55 yr old female, and am post menopausal, and have hit a road block when it comes to losing weight. my dr. said i am in wonderful health and was not concerned with my 5&#039;9&#039;&#039; 264lb body. at my request, she told me about qsymia and suggested that i try it for an added boost , since i do exercise and eat healthy already but was not seeing results like i should be seeing. she prescribed the low 2 week starter dose. i have only been taking for 5 days but already have seen success. 5lbs. lost, with no side affects. only thing was 1 day when i did not eat enough and i went for my 30 min walk, i about passed out, weak legs, dizzy, and fast heart rate due to not eating. will make sure to eat."
