My thinking is that they work on different parts of the brain. Phentermine is more of an appetite suppressant, while Meridia raises the serotonin levels to give you a sense of satiety, or being full faster, calmer, etc. I tried them both and figured out I needed more help with suppressing my appetite than with feeling full faster.

But I'm no pharmacist or physician, so I don't know if this is the case. I just know that Phentermine works for me and with the Meridia I could barely tell I was taking it. I've had friends, though, who absolutely swear by the Meridia.
