I had good results with Meridia and I think I would not had I been in your shoes. If I had taken amphetamines before Meridia would seem like candy and expensive candy. I lost weight with it. I guess our systems are different. I noticed that it helps me feel fuller after eating than when I don't take it. It doesn't work for everyone. I took amphetamines years ago to the point where I o.d. ed on them and could not take them now if I wanted to. Plus I do not have a condition that would warrant it. Amphetamines kept my weight down 30 years ago but I got burned out on them badly. I used to like the stimulant quality but developed some awful side effects that are typical of schizophrenia-so I am scared of them now. I never had schiz. though. I noticed a slight stimulant quality to Meridia but then it's not a typical stimulant. Once I took 2 by mistake and then I noticed a lot more energy. What is a waste of money for you was not for me. Glad something works well for your condition. Take care.
