Hi- Day 6 taking the weight loss drug, Meridia.

I would LOVE to hear from others and their experience taking it. Some of the Reading I have done has been discouraging- some sites say 10% loss of body fat per year and others say about 5-6 lbs a year. Both numbers are discouraging. The cost is high–150.00 a month and some side effects. Possible side effects include higher blood pressure and increased heart rate . I will be checked in 2 weeks and the again at 4 weeks for that…

I have noticed quite nasty heartburn that has woken me up a couple of times. Also maybe bit of dry mouth- but nothing that horrible and raciness is bit better,. I have been waking up feeling great and feeling like I could do anything. Today I painted some built-ins in family that I have put off for 2 months now and feel like I have more energy in general- a definite plus!
Maybe its just co-incidence- but i do seem shorter tempered- I normally have a lot of patience but i have been feeling agitated. Could other things tho and not drug..
