"i am a 28 year old female and my highest weight was 217 lb i am very active and work out 4 times a week at least but suffer from hashimotos thyroid along with ibs-c. i have been to a handful of specialists over the course of 10 years and used to have to run 2 hours a day just to keep my weight stable. my doctor recently added t3 to my regular levothyroxin everyday and i noticed more energy but my weight still clung on. she started me on a two-week trial of qsymia (while trying to get approval from my insurance company) the first few days i felt foggy and very thirsty. i am now on day 11 and dropped 7 lbs still working out the same i never had much of an appetite and don&#039;t eat many fatty foods which is why we looked into this medication"
