weight loss and phentermine

Okay, Posner goes off again. This time it is against the state of Florida. We have a patient visiting there for awhile and we did a virtual phone visit with her and then tried to call a prescription for phentermine into a Florida pharmacy. No go...they wont take it down there. Highly controlled.

Okay, here is the point: Yes, phentermine is an amphetamine...a controlled substance. If abused, it can cause many problems. We are doliong out seven pills at a time...not seventy or seven hundrerd. We are using this medication in an incredibly responsible manner to help people in their efforts to lose weight. What is the nations largest bhealth concern? Amphetamine abuse or obesity? What is the cost to society of people abusing 7 pills of phentermine vs the cost to society of diabetes, heart disease, various cancers, strokes etc?

States, the givernment and insurance companies just dont get it...People need HELP in losing weight and one of the tools that can help jumpstart a persons weight loss efforts is the RESPONSIBLE usage of a prescription anorectic.

Allowing people to jumpstart their efforts motivates the person psychologically. Phentermine is just a part of a program....the other components are just as essential.
