"i have been using qsymia for a little over 3 months. i have lost 50 pounds. i&#039;m 30, have 1 child and couldn&#039;t lose weight no matter how long i stayed in the gym. there is no magic pill that works for weight loss without diet and exercise! you need to do these things to see these type of results! i will say in the beginning my side effects were awful i always felt tired but i pushed passed that and it went away. i have since gone off my blood pressure medicine as well. i would recommend following closely with your doctor if you are on bp meds though because my blood pressure dropped so quick i was fainting. not from qsymia but from getting healthy so fast."
