"i&#039;m 32,5&#039;7,and female and had a begining weight of 250lbs. i just started my third month of qsymia and i am down 33lbs. i have put myself on a calorie restricted diet of 1200 calories a day and i work out 3-4 times a week. the pills do help with my hunger and cravings.at first diet soda&#039;s tasted really bad and i had episodes of facial and hand numbness and tingling but those are the only side effects i&#039;ve experienced. this all in all has helped me tremendously do what i couldn&#039;t do on my own. some of my motivation to stick to it also it the cost. at $150 a month i can&#039;t afford to mess this up."
