I have recently been started on Meridia and I have heard mixed results. I just wanted to ask the other ladies here, if u or someone u knew used it, what were their results? How long did u take it? Any side effects? Did u lose any weight? Would u take it again if u had to or needed to?
It's been a while, but I did take it. I had great results, but I did aerobics at least three times a week and also watched what I ate, some, but as long as I worked out I did well. I had been told by my doctor that he was surprised that it worked for me because other patients did not have a productive turnout. I would assume that it is case to case.

I took Meridia for 3 months and lost 50 pounds. My doctor put me on 15mg and told me to take it along with doing the South Beach Diet. It worked very well for me although I know that 50 pounds was alot REALLY fast but my dr. said that about 7-10 pounds a week with dieting was very normal. Good luck! It has been VERY rewarding losing all the weight before summer. I will say since being off of it, my stomach and appetite have shrunk DRAMATICALLY! I am still losing weight and I am not on the pill and not really the diet. The combo of the 2 helped me realize how to eat and when I was full!! GOOD LUCK!! Let me know how it all goes!!
I am on meridia now and I've been on it before. If you take it along with dieting and exercise, you lose weight faster. I didn't have any side effects whatsoever. It helps curve my cravings for sweets and snacks. I am currently using meridia and doing weight watchers. In three weeks I have lost about 4 lbs.
I took Meridia after my son was born and I had strange side effects. I got VERY jittery & could not sleep. I was not on it long enough to notice any results. I could not stand the way it made me feel, hopefully you will have better sucess.
