obesity
"I have been on Meridia for almost a week now.  I have not weighed myself due to the fact I hate the scale. The drug took effect after about 2 days where I can honestly say that my cravings/snack sessions have ceased, I have begun to try portion control, and it seems to work (where I am satisfied with a lot less).  I am not constipated and I do feel like I have more energy, but I'm still able to get a decent nights sleep.  I notice if I exercise (even if I don't feel like it) I get energy.  My blood pressure is fine thus far, but I will continue to monitor it as I progress. No headaches, or break through bleeding, no stomach aches. I have a slight lower back ache, but that may be to the sit ups being done improperly."
