Meridia Pig

I’ve been off and on Meridia for a few years.  The one reason why I prefer Meridia over any other prescription anorectic (i.e. a drug that blunts hunger/appetite cravings) was due to its lack of side effects.

The only time Meridia actually stopped me in my tracks was a day when I ate lots of sodium-laden junk foods and was jacked up on coffee.  I felt my heart racing, high blood pressure, and it really was scary.

Getting scared from an amphetamine-based drug (yes, Meridia is amphetamine–speed–based like all other diet drugs) is a uniquely terrifying experience.  Imminent heart attack comes to mind.

Anyway, Meridia has been a God send in terms of dealing with side effects.  The only problem is its biggest problem:  Meridia stops working after 2 weeks.

That’s right.  And not just with me, either.  I’ve found a dosing schedule of 2 weeks on, and then 2-4 weeks off pattern.  Of course, this wasn’t prescribed by my doctor, but I had to do what I had to do.  If I cannot control my appetite, I’ll not only regress, I’ll progress towards an early death.

What about you guys?  What have your experiences been with Meridia side effects?

Welcome to Meridia Pig.  Yeah, I know it is a harsh word, but whatever.  I’m fat and I know it.  I can’t continue living in a dream world, can I?  Even if i did, I’ll get a slap in my fat face when I have to pay $180 bucks every month for this damn diet drug.

Anyway, Im tired.  My ass bone is sore from sitting so much.  Right now I haven’t bathed in, like, 4 friggin days and I look homeless and/or dangerous.  It’s embarrassing.  I think I have to masterbate, but I need to wait for my girlfriend to go to sleep first so I don’t get caught.

That’s another story.

Oh yeah, I think I experienced “Serotonin Syndrom” today by taking Meridia and Paxil.  Awesome stuff, eh?  Arghahgh.

I’m going to take a shower and then pound off.  See you tomorrow.

Yours in Fat,
