How To Control Weight Gain?

I am only 5ft and now weigh 208.6.......I am steadily gaining weight at the rate of 10 pounds per every month or two..I am partially disabled with back pain and in a w/c part of the time.......I eat and crave sweets but am now morbidly obese category. I was wanting to know if anything prescription strength has come out that is stronger than that phentarimine they put me on a couple years ago as it didn t suppress my appetite at all? I am also ADD and on Adderal 10mg 2 tabs,(once when I get up and the other around 10am to noon). But still low energy and big appetite. So since I am poor on disability fixed income and hard to get out to a Dr. appt. (someone new), you can t help me cause I can t afford it?
