"before i go into this product it should be noted, normally i am against any weight loss medicine. however, after being on a restricted calorie diet and exercise regime with no results over a three month period, my doctor and i decided to try this medicine in combination with what i am doing already. so far, this is day 4 of using meridia and my weight has dropped 3.6lbs, with mild side effects being anxiousness. the first day i felt spacy, but that subsided and now i have zero appetite. i will post again later this month, but as of right now i am thrilled at the results. this medicine is pricey, but to me was worth every penny."
