"i have only been taking qsymia low dose for 4 days but so far, my cravings for food in general have significantly dropped. i am 40 years old, 5&#039; 5&quot; and weigh 208lbs. i have struggled to lose weight for the past ten years. but food is my emotional crutch so it&#039;s been hard to maintain any sort of healthy diet. i was a smoker and when i decided to quit, i used chantix and it helped stop the cravings and made quitting smoking very easy to do. i have been smoke free for over 3 years. when i heard about this, i was excited because it sounded like it worked similarly to how chantix worked. it suppresses a part of the brain. what part, not sure, but in the past four days, my desire to eat has decreased tremendously."
