Meridia (sibutramine) "I have been taking 10mg since Nov.5 2009. I have gone from 203 - 177. I went off for two weeks this past month and I have not gained but have stayed the same. During my time off however I had times of high anxiety and irritability, especially, when starting the medication again. My blood pressure and pulse rate have been fine. I have had some constipation problems.I think my Dr. will raise my dose to 15mg at my next appointment. My goal weight is 150. I feel so much better. It has helped with mild depression as well. Good Luck."

Meridia (sibutramine) "I LOVE THIS MEDICATION! I first started out on 10 mg and felt as if nothing was happening. I talked to my doctor and explained to her the situation and then she prescribed 15 mg for me. 12 pounds in a week! I am feeling more motivated then ever to lose weight. Some side effects I have had are hunger, headaches, nausea, and some constipation."

Meridia (sibutramine) "Love this medicine. I had great success of weight loss with this medicine. I seem to be of the minority who has an insurance that covers most of the cost, approximately $35 for one month. Side effects: insomnia and severe dry mouth, I made sure to carry gum. I have been on the medicines twice one year apart, lost 22 lbs the last round and it was such a great feeling. It ended all cravings, even for chocolate! Unfortunately as soon as I stopped the medicines after 6 months, I gained it all back. I ended up with heart problems, not sure if the Meridia was to blame, (I have a history of cardiac issues). I am to blame, I stopped exercising and all my cravings came back. I loved the results so much, I want another shot despite side effects."

Meridia (sibutramine) "I was on this 8 years ago and lost 30 pounds in 6 months - loved it! Didn't crave anything, never over ate - would eat half my food and feel good about not cleaning my plate. My mood was great too! Then it stopped working. I've tried to go back on it a couple of times and never felt like the first time. I've gain the weight back and more and thinking about trying it again. Just checking this site cause I never hear anything about it anymore. I know it's pricey but I figure if it works think how much I'm saving on over eating!"

"Hello, I have just received my slimex tablets from Canadian pharmacy and have taken 2 today, however I'm not feeling any different. I am not hugely over weight but did take reductil back in 2010 which worked straight away. I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me what they experienced in the first few days of taking the pill, and did I go to the right place to source these pills."

"I was recommended to use this medication after a long hard time in losing weight, almost a year, I lose weight very hardly and gain it back, although I am following a diet. After 5 weeks of using the medication, I started experiencing change of taste, severely, but the only thing that was not changed is water (most of the time) and lettuce But this happened after a period of almost a week or slight more of drinking very little water during the day"

Meridia (sibutramine) "Meridia was awesome for appetite control. It virtually took away my hunger. I could even walk by See's Candies with not even the slightest bit of interest! But, after 3-4 weeks, Meridia caused me to have severe migraines. I had to stop taking it. I'm sad. It's the only thing that has helped me eat less."

Meridia (sibutramine) "Unfortunately I took Meridia for 6 months and only lost 15 lbs. Went off of it for a while and gained 20lbs. Tried it again but only lost 11 lbs in 3 months. I eat good and exercise and chase after 3 kids. It's great for all of you who have lost weight however. This medicine is expensive. "

Meridia (sibutramine) "I have been on Meridia for 4 weeks, I lost 6 lbs the 1st week and nothing since. I drive semi truck and have little time for exercise. My only side effect is dry mouth. I feel that the cost of the drug outweighs the benefit."

"I started at 235lbs and currentl weigh 180. I have lost 55lbs! I love the medication. It doesn't make me nervous and I only started exercising a month ago! I am still going and do not see it ending! Only problem is it is expensive for me because I have no prescription coverage and wish the price would come down!"

"I just started taking Meridia three days ago. Weight: 206. The first day I had dry mouth, and since then I havent experienced any side effects. I feel like I can control my cravings and urges to eat better now. Though, it could also be the money I've invested in the drug, and now I am determined not to fail. Will keep updating."

"Yes, they do work. The Reductil 15 in the yellow capsules didn't work. If you want the real effective sibutramine, I can help. I have been using Sibutramine 30 mg and lost 26 lbs in less than a month."

Meridia (sibutramine) "I started taking Meridia 3 weeks ago. In the first week I lost 6 lbs BUT, I totally cut out all major Carbs, e.g. bread, rice, fries. It definitely got me in the right frame of mind to eat better, since it is not cheap, I was determined to go through with it. Yes it works, if you're determined. SIDE EFFECTS: Terrible taste in mouth (can live with that). Constipation - a little concerning but when it got bad, I skipped taking the drug for a couple of days and it would be normal. Another concerning side effect that is listed, is blood in the stool or bad period pains. I have not had a period in 4 years and got one after taking the drug for 2 weeks. I am going to put the drug on hold for a bit and try it again in a few weeks. Recommended ? YES"
