Back to the "Meridia" thing again! :-P

Well, I think it's kinda weird that I can't find anything about this drug on the Internet except what's on the meridia.net web site...I looked at the link I was given to an article on iVillage, and one person talked about Meridia, but not too indepth...I was really trying hard to find, like, a discussion board or a place where people talk about the drug and what it's done for them or hasn't done for them...but all I find when I look it up is all those online pharmacies that sell it "cheap" without the need for insurance...
Anyone have any idea as to why this might be? :'( I'm all diappointed now...

The other list of links didn't have anything on Meridia--however it did have a heart-warming story about a man who went in for surgery to have a tumor removed from his bladder and woke up without a penis... :-) LOL "Texas man wakes up after operation, penis missing" (Not to laugh at others' misfortune, but the title made me say: "WHAT?!?!")
Thank you for your help, though! I gotta find out why this whole thing is...maybe there's some sort of packet or something I can order. I downloaded of the meridia.net site the PDF file all about the drug, but again, no personal accounts.
Maybe not enough people are taking it? I can find all the info in the world about the gastric bypass that could kill me, but nothing on the medication that might save my life. Go figure...LOL

Hi Ri,
Just a thought but if there's a big drugstore chain near you,
perhaps the pharmacists there can give you info. :)
I wonder if it has a generic name that might pull up some info.

**Another thought: you might ask the bariatric surgery board:

Here's hoping you find something. :)

**Just looked at this site out of curiosity and it looks quite comprehensive to me Ri. I sure would hope that your doctor would have any extra information other than what is offered on this site.
I think Golly's advice is really good, finding a message board like this, with people on it who have experienced taking the medication or have heard about other's experiences taking it.
Good Luck with this. Hilary
