How do you get a reluctant Doctor to prescribe weight loss medications?
I’m 5ft2 and nearly 200 pounds. I have a hard time losing weight through excersise, because I am at a severe fibromyalgia. I eat a good diet of 1,000 calories per day, but even if I did not win, I’m not losing either. My doctor says he doesn’t like that any weight loss prescribe meds to no one. I do not want to see go to another doc for this one is so good to see with my other illnesses, and it’s in my contract that if I see everyone else, it will be me anymore. What can I do? Help! I’ve decided to do something more thanks to this contribution in all hitherto for input and helpful advice. I have an answer for “” M question. Most doctors who exclusively with pain management have their patients sign contracts of this type. It is quite simply means that they are handaling all the intricate details of your unique event that would not justify an advantage and would cause much confusion to bring in other doctors without his permission first. If you want the patient to another doctor about your pain management doctor, you’re more than welcome to have a second opinion or whatever you want, but it’s in your primary pain treatment providers discretion, you see, or more (as probably not) to see a patient again. Thanks for listening and responding.

You have a smart doctor. Weight loss pills are not only bad for you, they don’t solve the problem. If you have fibromyalgia, you certainly don’t want to do more damage to your system by adding harmful drugs.
I suggest you see a naturopath. They not only can advise you about weight loss, but can assist you with the fibromyalgia problem. Latest things I have read on fibromyalgia is that you need to watch what you eat, get the toxins out of your body and create a healthier lifestyle.
February 28th, 2010 at 9:19 pmWhat kind of doctor do you have an exclusive contract with??? I don’t think this is a serious question.
February 28th, 2010 at 10:19 pmDiet pills are not really a smart way to lose the weight. Check with your doctor on any other ways he would suggest to you on trying to lose the weight. See if he can refer you to any specialist to help you with the weight. Consult with a dietician or someone to help guide you thru it all.
February 28th, 2010 at 10:48 pmmost doctors wont prescribe because it can be expensive and you might become addicted to the diet pills. or maybe your body is the way it is suppose to be.
February 28th, 2010 at 11:02 pmAsk him to recommend a nutritionist for you to consult with. If he won’t prescribe anything, then the least he can do is work with you in other ways. Maybe a nutritionist can adjust what types of foods you are eating and make it possible for you to lose weight. Actually, you might not be getting enough calories and if you ate certain foods and increased your calorie intake by 200, you might have better luck. But I’m only guessing. Don’t get discouraged. It might just be a 1 lb. loss per week, but that’s 52 lbs. in a year.
I know you said you have severe Fibromyalgia, but can you just try walking 10 minutes each day and try to gradually work up to 30 minutes over time? If you don’t feel like walking outside, the Leslie Sansone walking DVD’s are easy and a lot of people like you lose weight using them. Basically it’s just walking in place in front of your TV for 15 minutes.
February 28th, 2010 at 11:32 pmAny good doctor will be reluctant to prescribe weight loss medication for a patient. They can be dangerous. I would talk with my doctor and ask him what he suggests you do to lose your weight. I too have fibromyalgia, so I understand your pain, but walking is a good exercise that does not put too much stress and strain on the joints. You can also try yoga or pilates, both are good exercises for people with fibromyalgia.
