"qsymia has definitely worked for me. i started in december 2014, at 255 lbs and about 5&#039;11&quot;. it is now the end of march and i weigh close to 200 lbs. the medication has really helped curb my appetite and reduce the appeal of food. i maintain 1500-1800cal/d diet, exercising when i can. some days i&#039;m over my count, but for the most part i&#039;m in target. i know that qsymia made the difference in my success. i didn&#039;t really have any significant side effects."
