I lost 32 lbs. in the 6 months I was on Meridia. The only side effect I had was dry mouth, and that encouraged me to drink more water. I am so upset that they pulled this off the US/CA markets. My dr. had me do an echo. of my heart before starting this medication as well as weekly blood pressure checks at first and then monthly.

I was taking Meridia for 2 months, lost 12 pds. Was happy with weight loss, no problems only to find out they are recalling it. Does anyone know another prescrption that can be taken in place of Meridia? I go to the dr in January, I just hope I don't gain the weight back !!

I have been taking 10 mg of Meridia daily in conjunction with increased exercise and better food choices. It has been extremely effective for me. I lost 120 lbs between Nov 2008 & Mar 2010 and have maintained my current weight of 175 lbs since. My doctor is currently weaning me from the Meridia and I am now taking it only 3 times per week and not experiencing any weight gain or increased hunger on those days that I do not take it. i have had no negative side effects. In fact, it has improved my disposition, outlook on life, energy levels, and libido too! I cannot say enough good things about it and the lifestyle change it has helped me make. I am a 63 year old 5'11" man who has now returned to his normal weight through a change in lifestyle and the help of Meridia.

I had orginally took Meridia for a year and lost 60lb. No side effects. I found myself not thinking about food all the time, but rather things I needed to do on a daily....what a releif that was.

I could focus on my job and not on food. I have found though, some weight will creep back on. A yearly maintenance works. Buy the drub overseas........not nearly as expensive. I was 56 when I started this for fear of diabetes II. I had no blood pressure or heart problems when I started. Can stay on this drug for up to 2 years.
