weight loss
"I started Qysmia on 3/1/16 weighing in at about 217 pounds / 5'3". Started on the lowest trial dose.  I'm making a more conscious effort to get up and move, but I can not say that I "work out."  I have a sedentary job working as a triage nurse.  I did a lot of homework prior to asking my PCP to prescribe it.  I have to say that I had many concerns, but I knew that I had to try something.  He had never prescribed it before.  I talk with people everyday whose medical issues were brought on by their weight and I am scared that I am headed in this direction too.  My caloric intake is about 1600/day.  No side effects so far.  Today is 3/6/16 and I've lost 1.5 pounds.  Can't tell yet if it has changed appetite yet or not.  Will update again."
