[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 573773, member: 1233"] The FDA has approved 2 medications for weight loss, according to drugs.com. One is a combo of phentermine and topomax, calls Qsymia. The other is Belviq, which is said to affect the chemicals in the brain that deal with appetite. These are medications to be used over the long term, usually to be considered to be taken for the rest of a patient's life, according to the article. I have mixed feelings about this, and am not sure if I would be interested at this stage. Like past weight medications, we don't really seem to know the long term effects and that is what bugs me. But if weight were my primary issue, rather than part of a very complex mess of health issues that started long, long before weight was an issue, I would probably be all over this.
