Can Adipex And Diuretics Be Taken With Lyrica And Gabapentin To Lose Weight?
I am 5 2 and was 156 and exercising to get back to 140. I was in a car accident about a year ago:second and third opinions PT, and the pain management. I have cervical herniations c3-c7 as well as lumbar herniations. Due to the various medications (lyrica and gabapentin) & my decerased range of motion I have ballooned up to 183. I know that this puts my BMI over 30 and I look and feel awful. I went to a doctor my aunt recommended after having my son (I gained 85 lbs) and was prescribed apidex, diuretics and potassium. It worked WONDERS! Do you think my pain doctor would prescribe this for me?

Hi,
There must be supportive documents or indications for the prescription of Adipex and diuretics with mentioned medicines as these are not the routine medications used for weight loss.
And your pain specialist would not generally agree for the same with my opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
