Hi Everyone!

I am in Australia and have been doing a bit of research about prescription medicines for fighting obesity.

Today I went to see my GP to discuss the options to find that Xenical is no longer available here. D'oh! I had wondered why I had problems finding any current local info about it. I have no idea when or why this happened!

After bit of a chat about side effects, my doctor was happy to prescribe me Duromine. I understand that Xenical and Duromine are two completely different types of 'diet pills' and are not interchangeable, but I would love to know if anyone here has used Duromine? If so, what was your experience of it?

Outside of these two, what else is there? Metformin?

Thanks!
