No, the normal starting dose of Qysmia is the lowest, 3.75/23mg for 14 days, then stepping up to the 7.5/46mg dosage.

Did you ask them why they prescribed this dosage?

Have you started taking it, yet?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dry mouth, diarrhea, GERD, and dry eye.
