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. Any good doctor will be reluctant to prescribe weight loss medication for a patient. They can be dangerous.

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. Ask him to recommend a nutritionist for you to consult with.

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. Diet pills are not really a smart way to lose the weight.

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. You have a smart doctor.
