I am supposed to visit a dietician in the next few days. From what I have heard of this doc, he seems the prescribe a medication to just about everyone, i am just not sure i am comfortable with a medication for weight loss. I probably need to lose about 25-30 pounds. He is giving rx's for a drug called phentermine. I have done my own research on the drug, but I would really like some personal stories if anyone has any about if it was or is a good thing to take. or just some general advice as to whether i should decline the drug period.
