Are There Any Prescription Free Diet Pills Approved?
I ve gained 50 pounds since August due to taking large doses of steroids for migraines. I m 69 years old, 5 feet tall. The neurologist said I would loose the weight once he took me off the steroids which did not help anyway. I stopped the migraines two weeks ago and have not been able to loose any weight. Are there any prescription diet pills approved now?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The weight gained by using the steroids is due to the deposit of the sodium, and the water. It will take time to be controlled.
Besides it could be the weight gain due to the diet habits, taking the calories, and the fats, and sluggish life habits, with out exercise.
Here are some don't sand do s to reduce the weight.
Avoid taking calories, fats, junk foods. do the morning walk, exercises, yoga etc. minimize the sleeping time.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
