Meridia (Sibutramine)
Sibutramine (Meridia) keeps two important brain chemicals -- serotonin and norepinephrine -- in balance, which helps to increase metabolism. It causes a feeling of fullness and increases energy levels. Studies indicate that sibutramine helps with weight loss and helps maintain it. Patients who discontinue the drug, however, report significant weight gain afterward. Some studies also report improved cholesterol and other lipid levels with the use of this drug. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, and insomnia. Also of concern are reports of increases in heart rate and blood pressure, although on the positive side, several studies reported significant improvements in cholesterol. Experts believe that sibutramine is probably safe, but the long-term effects are still unknown. Meridia is taken once a day, and will cost about $80 per month. Most people are limited to one year with this diet drug. These prices are for "traditional" prescriptions obtained after an in-person visit with your physician. Internet pharmacies generally charge higher prices, since they are also selling the "convenience" of obtaining these drugs without a visit to your doctor. This is a practice that will be coming under greater scrutiny by Congress in the near future. It is a very dangerous practice and is not advocated by BestDietForMe.com analysts and many others. Many feel that it is simply not possible to adequately evaluate a person’s complete health status over the phone or by filling out a brief survey on the Internet, for the purpose of prescribing medications.
