"i&#039;m a 30 yr old 5&#039;6 fem. i started qsymia sep. 2013 weighing in at approx 239lbs and just discontinued taking this medication this past month when i came within 10lbs of my goal weight of 169lbs, honestly my insurance covered $0 of the price of this medication and i was on the 3rd level dose of this prescription and at $200  a month i feel i can maintain and possibly lose the last little bit of weight on my own without the assistance of the medication, keep in mind i am also diagnosed with pcos and therefore had hyperinsulinemia no matter how much i exercised and ate right nothing was taking the weight off until my dr.told me we were going to give this medicine a chance and at almost 250 pounds i was willing to try anything. worth every penny spent."
