"I was under doctors care on Meridia for weight loss for about a year.  I had consistent normal blood pressure all my life.  My blood pressure started to go up slowly, which seemed okay with the doctor at the time.  Well, now I am off this drug and on blood pressure medicines for life!  Without the blood pressure medicines, my pressure is high all the time.  My doctor said this can happen when a drug sparks it.  BE CAREFUL with Meridia!"
