My doctor prescribed me Qsymia. Has anyone here tried it? I just received my prescription, and I was wondering if I could have some feedback on the side effects. I'm most worried about mood changes and drowsiness.

Anyone have any input? Thanks!

    Hi I have been on Qsymia for a month now and I love it. I will admit that the first week or so I did experience what I thought to be like mild anxiety...minor headaches. It didnt last long at all. Its incredibly easy for me to be on a 1200 cal diet with it and i have been losing 1-2 pounds per day with it. along with exercise. It truly saved me!
  • I am just finishing my first week on the starting dose, with no obvious side effects. I was worried about the "common" side effects like insomnia and dry mouth, numbness. I will go up to the next dose on Sunday. If you all want to message me here, it would be nice to keep in touch and compare notes.
