Weight Loss
"I took Qsymia for resistant metabolism. I am 5&#039;6.5&quot;, workout 5-6 times a week (6 miles walking (I try to maintain 15 min miles with lots of hills), spinning, pilates) and have always ate well. My endocrinologist prescribed it after every test came back normal. The Qsymia was awesome.  lost 20+ pounds and got down to 149 and took the medium dose for 18 months. But had hair loss; found out topiramate (one of the two ingredients in Qsymia) can cause this. So sad to come off the Qsymia, but thin and bald are probably not the best look for me. 10 pounds back on my dr. prescribed Belviq XR (won&#039;t give me phentermine alone). First dose today, skin has burning sensation, NOT hungry, feel a bit &quot;high&quot;.  will discontinue if weight does not drop in first few days."
