Question I'm looking for a doctor in Tallahassee, fl that prescribe this medication for obese patients.
Answer Dear Sarah
As far as I know you can be prescribed this drug by any doctor in Florida but many are reluctant to do so because too long use, although it decreases the appetite, can be addictive. Also, it is usually to gain weight quickly once the drug is stoppped. Why not try Orlistat which is much safer? (I do not know about the US but can now be bought OTC in many countries now.
If you are determined to get phentermine and cannot get it locally try one of the online Canadian pharmacies. Do not go for other things such as Hydroxycut advertised on the net which are basically useless.
