Ok if modification of life-style does not work for weight loss and i want to take a medication so what is the best drug of choice ?

Not Good Idea: Still not a good idea. If this is your intent, discuss it with your doctor, not the web. Diet meds are generally dangerous and really should not be used.

Qsymia (phentermine and topiramate): I have had the best results with Qsymia (phentermine and topiramate) which was recently approved by the fda. The biggest issue is that you have to change your lifestyle while taking the pills or you will gain all the wt. Back immediately after stopping the medication. It can cause birth defects. A group-accountability program such as weight watchers has been shown to have the best results over time, especially for women.
