However all require healthy diet and regular moderate exercise for maximum effect.  See your clinical to discuss.

Phen: yes, Met: no: Phentermine is a weight loss med that has been proven to be effective when combined with a reduction in caloric intake for 35 years or more, its safe, some side effects--must be followed by doctor, do not buy it on internet

metformin is only for diabetics, there may be minimal weight loss, its not for non diabetics, metformin in diabetics does not cause weight gain as other drugs for diabetes.
