I continue to see a large number of patients that are having great success with the combination of phentermine and topirimate. So far it is going really well. Only a small number of patients have had to stop the topirimate because of side effects. In those cases the side effects were not serious and resolved promptly on discontinuation of the drug.
For those of you who could not tolerate the topirimate due to side effects, there is still some good news. Around the first of the year, I expect the release of Belviq which is another drug that can be added to phentermine to help you lose weight. This drug is designed to make you feel full faster (it increases satiety). Stay tuned for more updates about this drug as the year winds down.
