A member asked:

Do any appetite suppressants really work or are they a waste of money?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely work: Meds must be used in combo and result in >10% wt loss in majority of patients who i prescribe them in. But, wt often returns when meds are stopped. Like BP meds, they may be needed indefinately.
