"i&#039;m devastated to learn that meridia has been taken off the market. it is the only thing that has worked for me in terms of weight loss. i can walk, eat healthy all day, but meridia is what gave me portion control. it turned the cravings off. i am so sad. i was just going to get another prescription after being off it for 2 years. in the last 2years i&#039;ve tried loosing weight without meridia and have been very unsuccessful. now, i don&#039;t know what i&#039;m going to do. i&#039;m about 90lbs overweight and each time i was on meridia i lost about 40lbs in 2 months. both times, meridia had given me the energy to exercise. as i said before, i&#039;m devastated. i was really looking forward to getting on meridia to jump start this weight loss and now i don&#039;t know what to do."
