"i will warn you that if you already have a history of depression and you have a depressive episode while on this medication, it will be 10x worse. do not take that lightly. have a good support system and tread lightly if you do choose to take this medication with a depressive history.



the topiramate part of qsymia made me have extreme mood shifts, from the first time i took it. i continually noticed short attention span, memory recall and retention issues, and other problems.



very effective for me, regarding appetite control. no cravings, when i used to have many. i did not shed significant poundage, only about 15 pounds in 3 months, but it was enough for me to want to continue on the medication - also, i was not exercising, due to my job"
