"i started qsymia on 1/5/16 at the suggestion of my dr.  i did take this drug about 3 yrs ago with good success also. i have lost 13 lbs in 10 days. i have had a bit of a headache and a bit of trouble staying asleep but not enough for this to be a problem. i am 49 yrs old, 5&#039;2 weigh in at 206 when i started, so i am very happy with how this started out. she did start me off at the 7.5 dose this time with the discussion that if it was uncomfortable to give her a call and we would scale back."
