For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Run from this medication, it is toxic. I took it from Jan 26, 2016, to Feb 13, 2016. Here is how my doc prescribed it: a 14-day starter pack, then I started the higher dose on Fri, 2/12/16. Sat was my last day taking that poison. Today, I feel as if I'm withdrawing from something much stronger that I've been on much longer, and what's worse, this is the only medication I was taking. From day one, I felt so bad, but I thought it would get better. It never did, it only got worse. Here are/were some of my side effects: dry mouth, fast heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, anger, gums hurting, blurred vision, rash. This is from 16 days only because I skipped a day or two. Trust me, stay away from Qsymia, it is not worth any weight loss."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "So far so good. Definitely makes me eat less. It has really stopped the constant food noise. I now eat normal amounts of food. Weight loss is slow because of menopausal changes, but gaining control was what I needed. I am experiencing insomnia and headaches, which can also be menopause related."
