Default Buying weight loss drugs online?

Does anyone here order their diet medications online? It isn't
exactly fun to go to my doctor to ask him for a prescription for
Meridia or Phentermine or Xenical and have him tell me that my BMI is
above the point of obesity. Then you have to revisit every 3 months
and refill your prescription every month. I need a pain medicine to
deal with this hassle alone. Does anyone use websites to order their
weight loss meds online (eg Meridia, Phentermine, Acomplia, Tenuate,
Xenical, etc)?

I've never taken any weightloss medications so I can't be of help. I
would be very cautious ordering medications over the internet without
having my doctor approve the medicine.

Have you taken these meds through your doctor in the past? If so, did
you have a problem with them not working?

Actually, I have had my doctor write a prescription for Meridia a few
years ago but my insurance wouldn't cover it. There was no way it was
worth paying 200 dollars for 30 pills, so purchasing online seems to
make sense. drugpricegrabber.com lists some places to buy diet
medications online. There are a few other websites that have a
similar concept (online price comparisons). I just wanted to get an
idea of how many people on the newsgroup order drugs online. What are
the perceived risks and what is a red flag for ordering online?

Thanks,

While I'm generally opposed to weightloss meds, I think there is merit to a
product called Fucothin. You can read about it on the Mercola website.

I have no connection to Fucothin, except as a consumer of three tiny caps
per day.

It is based on seaweed, and has a clinical trial supporting it.

Does it work? Hmmm. Maintenance is going better than last time. IMHO
Fucothin won't do the work for you, but it may make the effort a little
easier.

The big plus is that it is not a stimulant or a blocker. Oh, and you don't
need a prescription.

If you order from Mercola, often the packing list gives you a code for 15%
off a next purchase. So, the best strategy is buying one bottle, and then
ordering a 6 month supply with 15% off.

Mercola should give me a percentage!

Thanks,


Have you tried phentermine? It is lots cheaper than the Meridia --
Costco has it for ~ $16; the most expensive I have seen it was at drug
store for ~$38 for 30 pills. And, some insurances will cover it --
although they may make you jump through some hoops.


No, but that is a really good deal. But phentermine is an amphetamine
weight loss drug right? Have you ever tried Acomplia or Rimonabant
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimonabant? On www.drugpricegrabber.com
it is $1.48 per pill.

I hear that acomplia is a very popular weight loss drug in europe
right now. Along with Tenuate Retard.
