I can't help you on this one.  I have had three doctors in my adult life and NONE of them would even consider prescribing diet pills for me.

same here...they did not feel that the pills on the prescription market were safe or not effective.They were always willing to authorize psych visits or visits to a nutritionist to help.
I will tell you my sister lost a ton of weight with the Alli over the counter medication.   She had started dieting and then added the Alli and it did her each week loose. It took her 13 months, and I would say she lost 80 pounds. (She wont' tell us)

Diet pills can be very dangerous and cause dramatic changes to the heart later on down the line. I wouldn't touch those if I were you.

They are addictive as well. Once people start losing weight that way they can never get away from them. Plus the fact that you will very unhealthy, unstable, and unreliable with your emotions and behavior.

They are 'speed'. They are sold are the streets to drug addicts.

I wouldn't go that route if I were you !!

I just re-read your post "looking for a friendly doctor not against weight loss pills". Are you already taking them?! Drugs?! Are you looking for a legitimate doctor to keep you in supply ?!
