A member asked:

Guys please help me i really really need to lose weight fast what diet pill is the best to use im very stressed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your doctor may give: Topamax (topiramate) with average weight loss of 23 pounds. Other options include Phentermine and Diethylpropion , both of which should be used only until weight loss stops. Get in therapy to work on behavioral changes and take a look at some of the apps on this site that are designed for weight loss. Good luck to you. If you are morbidly obese i would look into surgical options with a bariatrician/ surgeon.
