I just saw my endo today and he prescribed meridia. For the last four
months I've been on met 1000mg. He says you can take both together.
He's reluctant to up my met because I'm still having some of it's
colorful side effects. Wish me luck! He said that meridia either works
or not and that you can tell in the first month. Complaints.... My
insurance wont pick it up and a one month supply costs $90.
