"i am a 25 year old female. i&#039;m 5&#039;8&quot; and weighed 240lbs at my heaviest. i tried qsymia after it was recommended by a family member who has lost 40 lbs on it and i have been on it for exactly a week now. i&#039;m combining it with the 17 day diet by dr. mike moreno, which is low fat, low carb, low sugar, and i&#039;m happy to say that somehow in one week i&#039;ve lost 14 pounds. i know it&#039;s mostly water weight but i feel good and i can actually tell that the pill makes me not crave food or feel hungry throughout the day like i used to be, which makes following the diet so much easier. i would recommend qsymia to anyone. only side effect is a little lightheadedness the first day or two."
