Most mild symptoms become less or disappear as your body adjusts to the drug. Phentermine is not for longterm usage, for there is significant possibility for drug dependence; also, its effectiveness at helping folks lose weight is usually minimal, a fraction of a pound loss a week.

Meridia is a prescription drug similar to Prozac which affects how full of food a person feels; therefore Meridia's side effects will be similar to mood enhancing drugs.
