Question for health professionals plz: I heard in the past (from an ER doctor) that many doctors refuse to..

Question:

prescribe the drug Adipex. He said that a lot of doctors refuse to prescribe it because it is "just a legal form of methanphetamine". Is it true that most doctors refuse to prescribe this drug? I used to take it in the past for my weight issue and feel like I would like to start taking it again because it suppressed my appetite really well but I am afraid to ask my doctor if he can prescribe me some even though I am overweight. I don't know if he is against the drug or not and I don't want him to chastise me for asking about it.

Answers:
Per Webmd Adipex is what makes up a part of Phen-Fen, which was pulled fromt he market several years ago. Adipex is still available in the US, but not in Europe. You will always be able to find a doctor to write a prescription, it just may not be your regular doctor. However, Webmd also had the following about Adipex.

Phentermine is no longer marketed in Europe due to a possible association with heart and lung problems.1

It is not known whether these medications are safe to take for more than a few weeks.
