"i was on qsymia to help me drop the last 30 pounds of weigh i was trying to loose but was having trouble.  it did control my hunger pangs but overall in the one month i took the medicine i only lost 8 pounds.  i continued my exercising and watching my calorie intake but for weight loss, it did not help me.  i actually had major depression and mood swings.  i was angry and short tempered.  i have been off the medicine now for 5 days and i am beginning to feel like myself again.  i personally would not recommend this medicine.  increase your exercise and lower your calorie intake.  that worked for me when i lost my first 50 pounds which i have not gained back in over 2 years.  i just wish i could take off 30 more."
