"i posted previously after 2 days on the component drugs that make up qsymia.  i am 61 and had reported no side effects.  it has now been 6 weeks.  i have had side effects but only minor - some dry mouth, difficulty sleeping if i don&#039;t have a glass of wine before bed ;), some numbness a few times in my face and that&#039;s it.  i&#039;m down 14 pounds.  i have made a very conscious effort to take off weight and sometimes question whether the rx works but i do know that i simply have no cravings.  i have no pull to buy junk food.  i have gone to a whole food diet, have had no sugar for 6 weeks, low carbs, just added a work out program 2 weeks ago and continue to drink 100 oz of water daily.  because it has been fairly easy, i do credit the drug.
