Life After Food? A diabetes drug has become an off-label appetite suppressant, changing the definition of being thin and what it takes to get there.

There's already dieting drugs a doctor can prescribe you. Wellbutrin is either combo'ed with naloxone and sold as an appetite suppressant (RX only), or it's just sometimes prescribed by itself for the same thing. I'm on it right now and I have been for about 6 months. I'm down 15lbs, and I was already only 1lb above a "healthy" weight, according to the BMi scale. Additionally, many narcotics are appetite suppressants as well, such as adderall. Also, metformin does not fucking cost a fortune Mod, jesus christ. Metformin is generic, cheap, and commonly prescribed. When i worked pharmacy, all our metformin doses were in the robot because we dispensed it so much. Where did you get your information? Or were you just assuming? I mean, metformin is one of the cheapest prescription drugs, not expensive. I just checked: you can get Metformin 1000mg - 180ct (max strength and max count the website would let me) for $12-20. How is that even remotely expensive by American standards?
