Go to your doctor

Go to your doctor. I can't believe the prices that are online. I go to Rite Aid and I get 37.5mg for 30 days for 28.68. Walmart also has them for this price. Rite Aid usually has them for about 40 dollars but they do competitive pricing so I make them call Walmart and they match the price. Its closer for me to go to Rite Aid. Good Luck to all.

It's not that easy. A doctor usually only wants to deal with ppl who have a good deal to lose, and not all of us fall under that category.

Im in that same boat. Doctor says I don't need it...only prescribes medications to 50+ lb overweight. I don't fall into that category any longer. And I can't afford a weight-loss center.

So true, so true! I also get mine from walmart, but trust me I know how hard it is to get a script from a doc. My advice to all of you is to look in the phone book under ob/gyn, they are the docs most likely to prescribe the pills to you. You would be surprised how many of them have weight loss programs out of their office. My regular md would never give me any, but my ob will. He deals with all female issues, and weight loss is one of the biggest. I would give it a shot if I were you. Next time you go for your checkup, ask him about it. And be honest with them, tell them if they don't help you you will order them online, that's what I did and it convinced him to work wwith me. nOW AS LONG AS i LOSE 4 lbs a month he will give me a script.

My old doctor would write a script for anything, his favorite saying was "Do you think you'll need anything for pain?" But like you ladies pointed out, getting my new doctor to prescribe it was like pulling teeth. Finally I told him I was ordering it online and was going to do it regardless and I would rather do it under his supervision than under no ones supervision and then he gave in. Play hardball with these guys they work for you not the other way around!!!
