"i took qsymia for about 6 months.  the side effects i had were dry mouth, tingling toes while seated, and hated the taste of soda.  i changed my diet and exercised loosing about 35 pounds.  qsymia stopped all of my cravings and cut my appetite. i loved it then after about 5 months i noticed it stopped working. my body adjusted to the medication and the side affects stopped after a couple months, but my cravings and hunger returned completely by 6 months.  my dr has changed my medicine to contrave which i will start today. i still have about 20 pounds to go."
