I would not take drugs if you have a weight problem that can be fixed through diet. If it can't be fixed through diet, that's another story. But I know a lot of people for whom a low carb diet has kept them off meds (borderline diabetics, etc).
A suggestion: Drink 8 8-oz glasses of water a day (this will get rid of water weight); stop drinking soda (except diet soda in limited quantities); cut all simple sugars out of your diet. Most diets have these 3 things in common. Do this, and then see what happens.
I highly recommend the Diet Rite ~ it's sweetened with Splenda (sucralose) which is made from sugar, but your body doesn't digest it like sugar. It tastes just like "real" soda.
