That is for your local health care provider, who is familiar with your medical history.Subj: Mixed review on Meridia Date: 10/14/2009 I took meridia last year for 4 months to shed some long overdue baby weight. I ended up losing 55lbs!! I felt great using it but had to force myself to not skip too many meals. I did have dry mouth and some slight headaches and stomach aches only when I ate too much...but other than those, which are not alarming to me, I felt good. I consider this pill magic! Note that I did jumpstart my weight loss with 2 weeks of phentermine, then followed with meridia. I just another baby and am already on meridia again to help with the weight loss (no, I am not breastfeeding). I'm hoping it will prove magical again however I am noticing that I am often hungry. I think that is because I am home with the baby and not working ( which keeps me mentally over-occupied to think about food!). While this pill is costly (frown) I do recommend it for those who can't seem to get a break with traditional dieting and exercise. Steph Subj: Controlling my appetite Date: 12/10/2009 I have only been taking Meridia for about 1 week and have already lost 9 1/2 lbs! I take 15 mg pills. Have not even started having to exercise yet, either, with it. I know the weight loss will prob. start slowing down after week 1 & I'll have to start walking & doing weights maybe with it. I also take a tranquilizer (anti-anxiety pill) with it, which helps make me not so jittery, which I did feel the first day and a few other days. That tranquilizer definitely helps the hiper feeling I get from the Meridia. So I have very few side effects from it. I have about 80 more lbs to go. I hope it keeps working this well controlling my appetite! Amy Subj: Lost zero pounds! Date: 12/19/2009 I'm 67. I tried Meridia for 1 month, spring 2009. I quit after losing ZERO pounds and spending $115. I exercised regularly (still do) and ate less than usual, not 3 squares a day which I know is bad. Diligent in Weight Watchers 2 years ago for 3 months: lost 1/2 pound. Nutrisystem last year for 3 months: lost 10 pounds at $100 per pound (as if I were foie gras), so I stopped and gained all back. Most of their stuff was lousy to boot. Rheumatoid arthritis since I was 17, mostly all burned out now thinks one MD. Could I be insulin resistant? Labs say no. Is Mediform the same as Meridia? Suggestions? Colorado Senior Chubby AskDocWeb: No Mediform is not the same thing as Meridia. There are Mediform calipers, a Mediform insurance company, a Mediform claims business, the online medical claims system, even a Mediform memory foam mattress. If your lab tests say that you aren't insulin resistant then that is not likely to be a problem. You might want to take a look at Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. Subj: Side effect of Meridia on pregnancy? Date: 12/30/2009 I have been taking meridia for a month and I feel good and lost 2 kg but the problem is that I got pregnant in that month. What is the side effect of it on my pregnancy? Pls advice. MARWA AskDocWeb: If you do become pregnant, or plan on becoming pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. It is not known whether Meridia appears in breast milk; not for use in breastfeeding. Subj: Dry eye symptoms Date: 1/27/2010 I have been taking 10mg for about 20 days. Initially I had bad headaches but that has gone away for the most part. But I have developed significant dry eye in the last few days. I don't want to stop taking it because it does appear to be working well. Anything I can do to stop the dry eye symptoms or will this likely go away? Laura AskDocWeb: Dry eye symptoms are not listed as one of the possible side effects of Meridia.
