Has anyone ever taken Meridia?

If so... how many milligrams were you taking?   I've been on it for 2 weeks (5 mg) .  I'm suppossed to take it everyday a half and hour before I eat dinner... and the dr. said that it would take up to 2 weeks to start working .. bla bla.. long story short.. does this stuff really work? Thanks Guys!

My dad took Meridia and lost about 80 pounds!!!  He was exercising like a maniac too though.  I'm not sure how much he was taking, but it seemed to work for him!!!  Although, now he has gained some of that weight back.  Hope you have luck with it!!!!

Meridia worked for me for about 4 months. I think I lost around 30lbs. I started at 10mg and then once that wasn't getting the job done, I was upped to 15mg. But as you can see I just had WLS so I would have to say that it didn't work for me.

I took it as part of my pre-op physician supervised diet. I think I was on the maximum dose... 15mg? I could definitely tell a difference. I didn't think about food or eating, and when I was eating, I was never interested in finishing my meal. It was like mental magic! I also had some bad side effects though like heart palpitations, headaches, and insomnia, so I only lasted for a few days before my doctor said to stop taking them.
