Phentermine / topiramate
weight loss
"I have been in peri-menopause and now menopause for 9 years.  I did the average gain of 1-2 pounds per year. Started 186lb in January Lost 9lb on own, hit a plateau.  Doc put me on Qysemia.  I lost 14 pounds in 3 months, and stopped, as my doctor didn't want me below 160 (5'8" tall, 53 years old)  For my size, he said I looked good and didn't want me obsessing about weight.  My goal was health and strength.  I work out 30-40 minutes a day.  Had all usual side effects, hand tingling, dry month, constipation, which cleared when I stopped.  I weigh myself weekly and if I stay within 3 pounds of my goal, I don't worry.  I still watch what I eat.  I found it easy to make good choices while on medication, as I wasn't hungry and sweets tasted off."
