I want to loose weight but i'm on methadone what can i do. in one yr. i've gained 80 pounds. is there a dirty pill that can help or what do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: Dirty pill? Do you mean diet pill? The answer to weight loss is to take in fewer calories than you consume. I suggest a dietary consult and increased exercise.
