Meridia.
Meridia (sibutramine) is intended for the treatment of obesity in patients that are unable to fight their food cravings. Sometimes Meridia may be taken by people whose obesity is associated with certain health problems they have – such as high blood pressure or diabetes. You must not use Meridia if you have recently taken a Mao inhibitor or are currently using any other diet pills. The following MAO inhibitors are most often prescribed: isocarboxazid, phenelzine, furazolidone, selegiline, or rasagiline. You are supposed to take Meridia only for as long as prescribed, and may not benefit from taking it for longer. Although you will not notice instant improvement, make sure you tell your doctor if you have no changes in your weight after 4 weeks of taking Meridia regularly and combining it with a regular diet and exercise. You can expect weight loss of at least 4 pounds after the first 4 weeks of the treatment. Meridia is not usually taken for longer than 2 years, so make sure you always discuss your decision to carry on with your treatment with a qualified health care professional. Headache, dizziness, and fast heart rate are most common symptoms of an overdose that you may experience if you take Meridia in larger amounts than recommended.
