Anybody out there taking Meridia?

uofagirl · July 2nd, 2003, 02:07 AM

My Aunt did. I'm not sure the mg, but took it two summers ago for three months and lost between 30-40 lbs. My sis's best friend, who is also a nurse, bought hers from Canada, and lost 35 lbs last summer and has kept it off. She recommended it to me b/c its different than phen, in that its not like speed like Phen. But I decided to take 15 mg phen from online, because a few years ago my doc put me on adipex 37.5 which is the same thing. I just wanted to go w/ less strength. Just be wary of taking any antidepressants w/ it. Even SSRI's. there is debatable info out there, but I'm hearing the people that get the heart-lung problems are the ones that are mixing the two for lasting appetite suppressant effect at the DR's advice. I even have prozac (sarafem) in my cupboard, and I'm scared to mix the two. Just my $0.02.

Good luck,
Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn. I'm having good results right now, so your words are encouraging. The only side effects I noticed where chills and tiredness, but I HAD to take a benadryl yesterday morning or I was going to sneeze my nose off. It is likely a combo of the 2 together that did me like that because my 1st day was fine (this is only day 3). Good luck, hon.

Hello there!

Has anyone been on Xenical?
I have just been prescribed this by my doctor becuase I didn't get any kind of results at all from the Phentermine. Nothing! I was so upset about it. Infact after I began taking it I was even more so hungry! I couldn't explain it! But once I stopped taking it I found myself not wanting to eat even half as much. I would love to hear some feed back if anyone has ever used Xenical before. I ha

ve been on it for almost a week now and I haven't had any side effects at all.

I shudder at the thought of xenical. I had dreadful side effects. Also, I didn't think the Meridia was giving me any negative side effects, but I am now realizing the constipation is horrible. I have only been doing #2 1xweek and it makes me miserable.

Mommy of 4 · July 27th, 2003, 05:44 PM

What kinds of side effects did you have? Was it just the constipation?
How long were you on the Xenical? Did you find that you lost any weight with it? How long were you on it?

Slave2Food · July 28th, 2003, 05:33 PM

The meridia made me constipated and that was the ONLY side effect. I could take fiber con all week and still not go #2 for a full week! Other than that it was fab. I think I'm going to talk to my doc and start back up if we can get a solution together.

I only tried the xenical for about a week. The final straw was when I was walking through the mall in my scrubs after work and this oil just squirted from my rear without any notice whatsoever. Pretty gross.

I was happy. Then, on July 4th I was in an ATV accident. After 3 months of physical therapy I went back to work. I was depressed. I saw the doctor for medication and therapy. By the grace of God I survived the depression and endured through the pain. Yes, I could have killed my husband and myself, but I didn't. I'm still here and... I want a DO-OVER!!! September 2006 176
