My doctor prescribed me Qsymia (combination of phentermine and topiramate for weight loss). Has anyone tried this before, or either of the combination drugs? Wondering what your experience has been, any side effects?

I have taken phentermine not the combo. Just be careful and make sure to drink water or stay hydrated because it makes ur mouth super dry. From my experience the phentermine made my heart beat fast. I wasnt a fan of it. I stopped taking it

Took topiramate for my migraines. Took half the prescribed dose and it made me feel like I was very high on crazy drugs. Had to stop taking it.

Same experience with topiramate here.

I’ve taken phentermine as well. They suggest taking half a pill to get use to it. Not sure about the combo. It does make your heart beat fast so I suggest it until you’re use to it. I like the energy boost but not the anxiety that the fast heart causes but I got pretty use to it.

I didn’t prefer them at all for weight loss because it made me anxious. Ask about prescribed ozempic as it’s FDA approved for emergency use in the US for obesity

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
