Red face meridia

hello lovely's.
so i finally filled my meridia perscription...after $150. not complaining, will gladly pay $150 to help shed the pounds.
however, i'm really scared to take this stuff....i'm already a very anxious person, anxiety filled...i take lexapro for that.
can anyone share their experience with me in regards to meridia?
has it helped you?
was it terrible?
do you love it?
weight lost?

I just started taking Meridia today. Maybe we can make a small thread for those of us on Meridia to chat everyday. What do you think?

What is meridia?
A weight loss drug? How does it work?
Does insurance cover it?

i think the meridia thread sounds GREAT!
xthatsjustmex...how are you feeling on it?

tldann67, yes it is a weight loss drug....insurance usually does not cover it, thus it being $150 per bottle.

I paid $117/month at Wal-Mart for my Meridia. It works great but check with your Dr. before taking any other medications with it. Also, at Wal-Mart, if you cannot afford all of it up front, you can pay for the pills weekly or bi-weekly depending on how you get paid. They are flexible!

I switched to Phentermine because it was a little less chancy. It works just the same but have been told it's less harsh on the body compared to the Meridia. But, whatever works for one may not for the other On the Meridia I lost 7lbs within 2 weeks & immediately noticed the weight loss. I was working out 3-5 days per week & watching my portion sizes, and only eating 1,200 calories a day!

I pay $123 a month Canadian at an overpriced pharmacy and thought I was paying too much.
I have not had any side effects on Meridia other than not being hungry.
No grossness, like some pills, no pains, & no problems.
Over the last few months I have lost 25+ pounds just from eatting less.
Good Luck.

I've done really well on Meridia so far! I've lost 4.7 pounds since starting the medication last Tuesday.
