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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking this medication last week, and I've lost 5 pounds in the first week, but I'm experiencing a racing heart and nausea. If you can stand all these symptoms, then it's a product for you."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "You must be your own advocate and do your research about Meridia and the current drugs you are taking! I was overweight, diabetic, with high blood pressure and high liver enzymes. My doctor thought more pills and/or shots or increasing dosages was the answer to everything. I was on 11 different medicines and had no energy and just wanted to sleep all the time. Doctor prescribed Meridia, nothing happened. Four weeks later, she increased the dose, no change. So I was complaining about not losing any weight, and someone said, 'maybe there's a drug interaction with something you're already taking.' I never even considered that. Went online and gee-whiz, and bang, it wasn't just the Meridia, there were several interactions going on! Don't do this without consulting your doctor! I went off all the medicines and started from scratch. Began with 2 of the diabetic and 1 blood pressure medicine. My appetite dropped immediately. Took sugar and blood pressure readings every 4 hours for a week. My sugar and blood pressure stayed normal. So I added the Meridia. I ate only half servings of whatever I wanted other than sweets. My goal was not to diet but to learn a new eating behavior. My weight was 199.5 lbs, and now 6 weeks later, I've lost 16 pounds (2-3 pounds a week). Had to reduce the dose of my diabetic medicines two times. (I'm totally off the insulin.) Now I only take the 2 diabetic and 1 blood pressure medicine and the Meridia (15 mg) daily. I feel good and have normal energy. I have very mild nausea every day and get massive heartburn if I eat too many carbohydrates. The cost is $196.00 a month. But this is well worth it to get my weight stable and improve my health."
