Would someone roughly 220 lbs and 5'8" and 34% bf be heavy enough for a diet drug prescription? i've tried everything!

Overweight: What exactly have you tried? Diet? Exercise? If so you should check with your doctor because there are other causes of weight gain. If you haven't tried diet and exercise you must try it.
