"i started this medication 4/20/16 at 5&#039;1&#039;&#039; 237lbs after going over all options with my endocrinologist. this website had me really terrified honestly with some of the side effects but i had to take the chance. started at the lowest dose for the 2 week trial, qsymia had a free 14 day trial. rare side effects: headaches, tingly hands and feet, irritability outside my normal b*tchiness once lol blurred vision once when i was very tired. while i&#039;m very overweight, i&#039;ve never had much an appetite so that did not change. the kind of food i&#039;ve been eating while on qsymia has definitely changed though, all healthy, only water, no food after 6pm. i have not been exercising, upped dose 5/4 same minimal side effects, down 13lbs in 20 days."
