Not all physicians: Prescribe them. You would need to see a physician who prescribes them. The doctor would need to see if you have a medical indication for the medication.

No Diet Pills: I would worry that any physician who would prescribe 'diet' pills for you did not have your health or your best interests at heart. There are no known supplements or diet pills that really lead to true and lasting weight loss. Postponing the real work it takes to lose weight is the most common outcome when one takes any medicine for weight loss.
