"i began taking qsymia a couple of years ago with a brief hiatus in between. i started at 206 and got down to 158 with very little exercise but a change in eating habits. according to my friends i was eating very little w/maybe 1100 calories a day or less. i easily overlooked the side effects of tingling in the feet, dry mouth and irritability. the worst has been the memory problems, difficulty concentrating and lack of words. i couldn&#039;t remember commonly used words like my brain just stopped working. this scared me enough to stop taking it. i&#039;ve been off now for over a year and still have these neurological problems after once having a near photogenic memory. i&#039;ve also gained all of my weight back and looking back would&#039;ve never started it."
