Meridia success stories? [meridia] [success stories]
I was just prescribed Meridia and wanted to know if anyone else has tried? If so, what side effects you noticed? How did you feel during use? How long did it take for you to lose weight post? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Reply:I don't have a success story but an opinion if you want it.
I didn't like Meridia at all. I felt bad about 2 weeks after I starting taking it. It's hard to explain but I felt down, not myself at all. I stopped the drug and about a week later started to feel decent again. I didn't see where it affected my eating at all. Then, about a year later, I tried the drug again. I thought maybe the first time was a fluke. I've never had any negative reaction to a drug before. The second time it was worse. The bad, out of sync, icky feeling came on in only about 3 days. So again I quit the drug.
Over the past two or three weeks I've been reading up on what people think about various appetite suppresants and "diet drugs". Here's what I find interesting about Meridia.
Meridia is not an appetite suppresant. It's a satiation (sp?) activator. The purpose of Meridia is to make you feel full faster when you eat. I remember the early commercial campaign when it first came out. It showed people pushing away from their plates of food with food left on them. Yet a lot of people who take Meridia ( and you can read the posts here) say it suppressed their appetite wonderfully. So that either means the drug does something it's not really intended to do…or more of hunger, and the success of how we manage our weight, is in our heads than we know.
So, of all things, this has led me to seriously consider hypnosis as a tool to maintain my weight loss. I believe the mind is a very powerful in controlling what our body believes and feels. So I'm asking around for a good hypnotist in my area.
And I realize that has nothing to do with my Meridia use. Just rambling thoughts on how to get out in front of the rolling fat ball headed right at me.

I can say from experience hypnotherapy for weight loss does work, i know because i have had it done.
I must admit before I heard a radio broadcast on the BBC with Claire Hegarty who was invited on the show for being an expert in Weight loss hypnotherapy, i would have said to anyone who suggested that i was hypnotized for weight loss, not to be so stupid. But after struggling with my weight for many years and where my weight went upto 22 stone, i listened to the show after becoming despearate and found it very interesting.
I had tried everything to lose weight, i went on loads of diets, i went to my doctor time and time again and he was not interested, i even asked if i could be given a pill that doctors give out for weight loss but he refused so i was now desperate and would have tried anything.
After listening to claire hegarty on the show and listening to what she had to say about hypnotherapy, i decided to contact her, now you have to understand at this time i was still not believing hypnotherapy could help you lose weight but i did want to know more.
She explained all about hypnotherapy and weight loss and how it works to help you lose weight and i was very interested and started to feel maybe their is light at the end of the tunnel, maybe i can get back my ideal weight. I agreed to meet her and after getting on well with her i became her client. And i have to say, that i am so happy that i am now four stone lighter and still losing weight.
So what i have to say to you is, do research by all means into weight loss hypnosis, but it does work and do go to an expert and see the diference it will make to your life as it has made a huge difference to my life but make sure that they are an expert. Just because they do hypnotherapy, it does not mean they are an expert in hypnotherapy weight loss, when making an appointment ask them are they experienced in this and do they have good results.
