...that UK private doctors can legally prescribe appetite suppressants.
I had a mobile hairdresser at my house the other week - she said she'd lost four stone in as many months taking phentermine.
I immediately though she was slightly mad and had ordered them off some dodgy internet site, but she was quick to say the pills were from a legitimate clinic, and legally prescribed by a doctor who also works for the NHS.
I did a bit of research, found a clinic, went along today and now I have three weeks worth of appetite suppressants.
Am I being silly? I tent to trust the NHS implicitly, but they do not prescribe these pills (only orlistat which is just awful). I'm currently 16 stone (5ft 4in), and am utterly desperate (I won't bore you all with the names of all the diets I've tried and failed. I've also had extensive councelling, but it did not work for me at all.
Does anyone have any experience with phentermine? I'm very excited about it!
