For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I tried this drug out a year ago. Very expensive and worked wonderfully in controlling my cravings and appetite, but then the side effects started. I had horrible headaches. This is not a symptom I could deal with, so I had to give it up. Hopefully, it won't cause headaches for many people, but if it does, I'm so sorry because they truly hurt."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Meridia for almost a week now. I have not weighed myself due to the fact I hate the scale. The drug took effect after about 2 days where I can honestly say that my cravings/snack sessions have ceased, I have begun to try portion control, and it seems to work (where I am satisfied with a lot less). I am not constipated, and I do feel like I have more energy, but I'm still able to get a decent night's sleep. I notice if I exercise (even if I don't feel like it), I get energy. My blood pressure is fine thus far, but I will continue to monitor it as I progress. No headaches or breakthrough bleeding, no stomach aches. I have a slight lower backache, but that may be due to the sit-ups being done improperly."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I LOVE THIS MEDICATION! I first started out on 10 mg and felt as if nothing was happening. I talked to my doctor and explained to her the situation, and then she prescribed 15 mg for me. 12 pounds in a week! I am feeling more motivated than ever to lose weight. Some side effects I have had are hunger, headaches, nausea, and some constipation."
