I took Meridia for one month and one week after stopping I experienced sudden cardiac death. My heart stopped several times and I had to be resuscitated with paddles. Has anyone had any similar experience or know anyone who has? My doctors all say this is not related to Meridia but why would a healthy young woman experience sudden death when the only thing different was the fact that I was taking Meridia?

Wow, that's real scary. Did you have a heart attack or a stroke? I think that is what Meridia is linked to. I also heard that it could cause seizures. It seems that the doctors are skiddish in saying whether a person's heart condition is caused or exacerbated by writing prescriptions for diet drugs. I hope you are doing much better now. Did this leave you with a disability?

Technically I didn't have a heart attack or a stroke. My heart simply stopped - although multiple times. I am very fortunate in that I was left with no disability and am as active and healthy as I was before. I just have to believe that all of this was caused by the Meridia. Prior to taking the Meridia I had no cardiac problems what so ever!!

What a terrible thing to happen to you! The doctors have no reason or explanation as to why your heart could just stop like that, more than one time? I think you should look into this further because something does not sound right. I think Mr. Parker is reviewing Meridia cases now. Wishing you all the best.
