Normally I do not write reviews but, I felt that I needed to because of what I have experienced. If I can spare anyone the agony I have been experiencing it will be worth it. I may be a rare case but I do not want anyone else to experience what I have in the last 3 days. I am fairly healthy had blood work prior to starting this medication and all was good and usually is.

Normally I do not write reviews but, I felt that I needed to because of what I have experienced. If I can spare anyone the agony I have been experiencing it will be worth it. I may be a rare case but I do not want anyone else to experience what I have in the last 3 days. I am fairly healthy had blood work prior to starting this medication and all was good and usually is. I need to lose 50 pounds. I took 1 pill and 6 hours after I felt dizzy, blood pressure and heart rate shot up ( but not dangerously high), I started to have nausea and vomiting, severe abdominal cramping, and a fever of 100.5, shivering and chills. So I figured maybe just maybe it was something I ate but, then the itching started. No rash just itching that never stops. I looked again on line and found on Web MD the side effects and they are all listed there. It has been 3 days since I took that one pill and I am still slightly dizzy and weak, but the itching is unbelievable. Benadryl helps for about 2 hours but who can work and function on 50mg of Benadryl. I am glad that this drug has worked for some, in fact I have lost 5 pounds in 3 days(because I have been so sick and can't stomach any food) but it is not worth the side effects. At this point I am hoping that this itching stops. The itching is driving me crazy. I wonder how long it stays in your system.

Took the initial dose and after couple days, got short of breath and chest tightness. Tingling, numbness in legs. Anxiety, can't imagine at regular dose. Had to quit after going to ER.

I have been taking Q for a 8 months now off and on and have reached the second dose. The first strength didn't work well for me so I consumed caffeine with it and it worked wonders.

I have been taking Q for a 8 months now off and on and have reached the second dose. The first strength didn't work well for me so I consumed caffeine with it and it worked wonders. The side effects are pretty costly though. I can feel the difference in my heart beat. My heart sometimes hurts now, my appetite is controlled or non existent, dry mouth, sometimes I cannot even form a sentence and can be so forgetful because of this med. I am only 22 and I know these symptoms are caused by the med, but I am down 23lbs so I continue to take it.

29F, morbidly obese, workout 3-6 days a weeks but needed Qsymia to manage insatiable feelings of hunger. I started Qsymia on 10/5/15. Today is 10/9/15 and Ive lost 13 pounds! Q appears to help me stick to my diet plan recommendations. Side effects so far: muscle cramps, fatigue, headaches---BUT these could also be a result of diet change, So far so good.
