Hi -
Someone on this website posted that they had a big problem with Meridia.
I remember since my husband was thinking about trying that. The person
ended up in the emergency room while on the Meridia. Look through the
postings for the last month or so. Hopefully you can find the person
that posted that message to ask them some questions. Good luck! Ruth
;-)
