Buying Online??

thinisin · 04-16-2006, 05:25 PM

I am curious about why people are spending the enormous amount of money that the online companies are charging for the phentermine pills when you can go to your local family physician and just get a script. I pay $20 for 30 pills a month. Seems much easier and simpler to me and my insurance picks up the tab.

My doctor won't prescribe the pills to me. When I started taking these pills this year, I was 168lbs (currently 156lbs). I am only 5'1, but my doctor still won't prescribe them.

Some might be like myself, without insurance and without a family doctor. So we have no other choice then to buy online and pay their prices if we want to take them.

My ins doesn't cover this diet pill, i did go to a special weight loss doctor, that visit being the first visit was an arm & leg, it cost around 325.00, she gave you enough pills do complete 4 days on, 3 days off,also ekg, blood sample. So i decided to order them online, i get 90 days supply for 99.00, i received them within 2 days of ordering them online.

Its a shame that Ins. doesn't cover diet pills. With obesity leading to major health problems later in life...im surprised that they don't...they'd actually save money in the long run!

I have a script from my dr for phentermine but he only writes them for one month at a time. so, i have to spend $50 on the dr visit then another $40 for phentermine. he also prescribes 10mg of torsemide (water pill) which is $10. So, it used to run me $100 a month. Plus the time and effort of going to the dr.

My doctor wont prescripe them for me either. I had my second child last year, and I'm just too busy and honestly too lazy to exercise but I want the weight gone.

What are the water pills for? Do they help with speeding up weight loss?

keeps your body from absorbing and storing too much water during dieting. they don't speed up weight loss and are dangerous to take with diet pills unless under the care of a dr. Drinking 6 - 8 glasses of water a day has relatively the same effect as a low dose water pill (barring any other medical conditions)
