Does appetite suppressants really work? If so, what's the best out there?

They do work to suppress your appetite.  They are a mild amphetamine and tend to make you feel like you are drinking too much caffeine.

no, it is a prescription weight loss drug.\n"Unlike other commonly prescribed weight-loss medications, XENICAL is not an appetite suppressant and does not have a direct effect on the brain. Instead, it works in your digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested. "

I have used Phentermine and I lost 25-30 lbs. in 6 months.  You have to get a doctor to give it to you but it is worth it.  I have found that any of the over the counter meds. don't work.

there are two diet pills that works.one is called xenical which avoids the one third of the fat you get into your body through meals to be absorbed by the intestine and the second is called reductil which speeds up your metabolism and passifises your appetite for foods.BOTH SHOULD BE TAKEN UNDER THE DIRECTORY OF A DOCTOR.

Hoodia is the best ingredient to suppress appetite, or so i''ve heard. It is a cactus plant from Africa and apparently does wonders. I have not tried it, but it has been featured on Oprah, 60 minutes and MSNBC. I think it would be worth a shot. Check out this website: \n\nhttp://hoodiahelp.blogspot.com/\n\nIf you want more information, just type hoodia oprah in a search engine. I find better results come from that than just typing hoodia.\n\nHope I helped. :)

It is true that Caffeine pills will suppress your appetite But, don't take them no longer than 2 WEEKS. And, I know people who will take caffeine pills instead of diet pills becuase they are alot cheaper in price.

I'm tired of people condescendingly saying all you have to do is eat less and exercise. Yes, that may work for YOU, but does NOT work for everyone. I tried everything (yes, including regular exercise!) and finally had to stop taking a prescription that I knew was preventing weight loss (I always research meds before taking them). I knew my thyroid was low but it was not low enough to treat medically so I got no help there. Finally my GP gave me phentermine and I have lost 42-43 pounds in a year. It is not a magic pill. You still have to eat less and exercise, but it makes those two things effective. In the long run you do have to develop healthier habits.  And stay away from soy. It suppresses your thyroid, which controls your metabolism.

None really. There is no magic pill for weight loss, hence the massive rate of obesity in this country.\n\nGood old fashioned exercise, and lifestyle change is the best way.\n\nSome prescription medications can help block the uptake of certain fats, but they only help someone who is changing their eating habits and exercising.\n\nRemember, you do not have to diet to loose weight, but you will have to make better choices about meals, and how frequently and much you eat.

It has proven time and time again that any of these slimming "magic bullets" MAY seem to work but only temporarily or NOT AT ALL.\n\nThere is no slimming pill that really works. The sure way is a good diet and exercise  and TIME.

Many have caffeine in them- they give you energy in place of food and nutrient based energy.\n\nOthers have appetite suppressing influences, you will not feel hunger even if you haven't eaten. However, many people eat out of habit so this isn't the most effective.\n\nOthers contain laxative or endocrine influencers- make you eliminate water and waste faster.\n\nOther than this, many make false claims so be careful. There is no miracle weight loss pill- at least, not yet :)

About the Thinstant pill you asked about - I've never heard of it and don't know of anyone here at 3FC who uses it. There's one important thing that I want to share with you about diet pills - they don't work.\n\nI'm the moderator for the Maintainers Forum here, which is a group of 3FC members who have lost weight - and more importantly - kept it off. Periodically we survey our maintainers to ask how they lost the weight and no one has ever successfully lost weight and kept it off with diet pills. And we have over 40,000 registered members!\n\nDiet pills may work in the short run, but if you want permanent, long-lasting results, it's just as simple as eating less and moving more. Poke around in the various groups here and ask lots of questions - you'll find all the help that you need for lifetime weight loss and maintenance.

Yes. They really do. Adipex works really well, but it is by prescription only. Some over the counter ones that I have tried work ok, but still not the same. Some side effects are that you get shakey, you may get a headache, or I've heard of diet pills causing your heart to race. I have not experienced this.

exercise daily! NOTHING BEATS EXERCISE! in lossing weight. you can however take medications to lessen your appetite. eg. reductil 30 mg once a day before breakfast.
