weight loss
"I practically had to beg my local physician to put me on this medication.  Oddly enough, he had never heard of it and had never prescribed it.  I was 160 pounds, 5'5", with high blood pressure.  The high blood pressure qualified me as a candidate for Qysmia, since I was not obese.  The cost of the medication is not cheap, and is not covered by insurance.  The first few days on the introductory dose I gained about a pound and was so sleepy I thought I had been given sleeping pills. But, then, I seemed to hit some kind of stride, because the weight started dropping at the rate of a pound a day. I can't look at bread without getting the urge to vomit. Anything with sugar tastes like metal.  In the morning, I drink a big cup of coffee."
