obesity
"I have been on Meridia for one year under my doctor's supervision.  During that time I have lost 108 pounds.  My doctor has been able to gradually take me off of all 3 blood pressure prescriptions, simvastatin and metformin.  It has been very effective in helping me control my appetite and thus lose weight.  I have increased energy, sex drive, and generally a much better disposition and outlook on life.  It has been great for me.  I have another 12 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight of 174.  Once that is achieved, he intends to keep me on Meridia for another 6 months to enable my body to achieve the correct amount of Leptin production necessary to maintain my new weight and prevent me from regaining the 120 lbs I will have lost."
