"i began taking qsymia last year from may2014 - oct2014 and lost 30lbs. had to stop taking since i ran out of money on my fsa and couldn&#039;t afford it out of pocket. i will say i had major dry mouth which led me to drink lots of water and of course that&#039;s great for weight loss. completely changed my tasted buds, no longer desired sugar foods - cakes, cookies, etc or pop (diet pepsi drinker). side effect: no energy, struggled greatly on my job. i read a post someone recommending taking l-tyrosine 500mg for energy. i did along w/ my daily multi-vitamins, and it made a world of difference!!  i did gain my 30lb back being off, but i&#039;m back on qsymia and ready to take it off and more this time and stick with it!!"
