Keep in mind I have only taken the free dosage which is 1 pill (3.75) for 14 days. So this might not be enough time to notice anything. So far no weight loss, no decrease in appetite, yet my resting heart rate as increased a small amt. My Pharmacist is waiting for the approval from my insurance to fill the remainder of my 1 mo. 'script. that will increase the dosage to 2 pills per day. Hopeful ... Show Full Comment

I've been on this drug for about 3 1/2 months and have lost 34 lbs. I use this as another tool in in trying to lose weight and it has helped me curb my appetite and not obsess as much over food. I have struggled with weight pretty much my entire life and never have done any fad diets. I have lost weight before on weight watchers but was struggling for a long time on this. I still go to WW but needed help in getting a kick start. This has worked very well and no real side effects. I pay attention to drink more water too. You still have to work at it .... There is no "magic" pill, but this drug has been a great assistance.

Been on 11.25 strength since Nov. 2014. Lost about 45 lbs. which is nowhere near my goal but still quite significant. Still steadily losing a few lbs. and inches while maintaining a healthy diet and exercise, but nothing too extreme. Within the past 6 months I got pregnant twice while on both birth control and Qsymia. I had NO IDEA the topirimate interacts with birth control so BEWARE of that.

When I started taking this drug, there were no warnings about effects on the kidneys and liver. A week after taking the pills, I didn't feel well and couldn't urinate. I was losing weight rapidly. Three weeks later my blood work showed kidneys were failing. After doctor told me to stop immediately within 2 days I started urinating. However my blood work remains at a level 3 chronic kidney disease 1-1/2 years later. There was no warning at that time but I reported it and now see it is listed. I am totally devastated that this drug caused kidney damage.
