apparently Acomplia has just been taken off the market in Europe. This is what I saw in a recent news report. Does anyone else have any more info? Here is part of the report:

"Safety chiefs have suspended the use of a weight loss drug over concerns that it may be linked to suicide and sudden death.

Officials said the risk of side effects from the drug, Acomplia, outweighed its benefits.

Almost 100,000 Britons have used the drug since its launch two years ago, when it was hailed as a £2 a day wonder pill.

Health warning: Drug chiefs say doctors must stop prescribing Acomplia now

But seven deaths, including a suicide, have been associated with the anti-obesity treatment, which also doubles the risk of psychiatric disorders.

Around 2,500 adverse reactions have been reported by British patients since it
became available to private buyers two years ago. U.S. authorities refused to approve the drug amid mounting scientific evidence of the suicide dangers.

But just four months ago Acomplia was cleared to be used as a 'last-chance' solution on the NHS by the Government's rationing body, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.

But warnings on packets about the higher risk of depression, anxiety and other 'serious' side effects were strengthened after the European Medicines Agency said Acomplia should not be taken by patients with major depression or on antidepressants.

Now the EMA has decided to suspend the medicines licence for Acomplia because the 'benefits no longer outweigh its risks'."

wd be nice if that worked for everybody but i was already eating only 1200 calories a day and working out four days a week and went up to 210 lbs after the initial rimonabant study ended even doing all of this. some of us just don't overeat...we have strange metabolisms. i will bet most people in this situation are post menopausal women like me.
