"i was prescribed qsymia back in january but did not start taking it until 3/23/14 starting weight 292 i am now down to 228. i have never felt better my a1c was 6.6 in january in july it was 5.6 hoping when i go on november to be completely rid of this diabetes nonsense. i feel fantastic. i had minor side effects tingly toes and dry mouth but that went away after the first week. hoping my doctor will keep me on until my goal weight of 180/190. since she said i could be on it for a year.  i only pay 10 dollars for 30 pills which is great but with my old insurance it was 80 that is why i took so long to start it."
